EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving is an elegant representation of Bistort, Polygonum bistorta, and Adderstongue, as depicted in Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The illustration showcases both the male and female forms of Bistort, a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia, with its distinctive triangular stems and arrow-shaped leaves. Adjacent to it, the Adderstongue, Ophioglossum vulgatum, is depicted with its unique, tongue-like structures, which earned it the common name 'serpent tongue' or 'adder's tongue.' Bistort, also known as Serpentaria or Polygonum bistorta, has a long history of medicinal use. It was believed to have various therapeutic properties, including the ability to treat snakebites, hence the name 'serpentaria.' The plant was also used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote menstruation. Adderstongue, or Ophioglossum vulgatum, is an unusual plant belonging to the Adder's-tongue family. It is characterized by its fleshy, tongue-like structures that are used to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The plant was believed to have medicinal properties, including the ability to treat snakebites, as well as to alleviate pain and inflammation. This botanical illustration is from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The intricate details of the engraving and the vibrant colors of the hand-coloring showcase the beauty and intrigue of these plants, making this an invaluable addition to any botanical collection.
