EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two pages from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The intricate illustrations, created by Robinet Testard, depict a mesmerizing combination of roses and garlic. As we delve into this medieval manuscript, possibly commissioned for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme, we are transported to a world where curative remedies were sought through nature's bounty. These illuminated pages serve as a window into the healing practices and botanical knowledge of that era. The delicate depiction of roses symbolizes love and beauty while also representing their medicinal properties. Roses were believed to possess therapeutic qualities that could alleviate various ailments. Garlic, on the other hand, was renowned for its potent antibacterial properties and was often used as an antidote or cure. Amidst these vibrant illustrations lie hidden treasures such as polygonatum (Solomon's seal), moth herb (anethum), and asphodelus – all carefully chosen for their medicinal benefits. This print not only captures the exquisite artistry but also serves as a reminder of our timeless fascination with herbal remedies throughout history. It invites us to explore the intersection between botany and healing in an age when nature held profound wisdom waiting to be unlocked.
