EDITORS COMMENTS
A Man in Search of Deer Tears: An Illustration from the 15th Century's 'Hortus Sanitatis' This evocative Xilograve (woodcut print) depicts a man in earnest pursuit of a deer, his face etched with a mixture of determination and despair. The image is taken from the 'Hortus Sanitatis' or 'Garden of Health,' a comprehensive encyclopedia of natural history and medical knowledge compiled by German monk and physician Johannes de Cuba (c. 1430-1503). The man's quest for deer tears is rooted in the belief that they held potent aphrodisiac properties. This notion, popular during the Middle Ages, was detailed in various medical texts of the time. Deer tears were thought to be produced when the animal wept for the loss of its antlers, and were believed to grant the consumer increased sexual desire and vitality. The intricately detailed woodcut print, created around 1491, is a testament to the depth of knowledge and curiosity of the medieval European mind. The man's attire, with its fur-trimmed cloak and pointed cap, speaks to the era's fusion of practicality and folklore. The deer, with its regal bearing and delicate features, embodies the natural world's allure and mystery. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when the boundaries between science, folklore, and belief were less defined. The man's quest for deer tears serves as a reminder of the human impulse to seek out the extraordinary in nature, even as we grapple with the challenges and uncertainties of our own existence.
