EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Tacuinum Sanitatis, a renowned medieval health manual. The image features an exquisite illustration of fennel, meticulously crafted on vellum by an Italian School artist in the 14th century. Held at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into the medicinal knowledge and botanical expertise of that era. Fennel, known for its distinct aroma and delicate flavor, was highly regarded for its healing properties during medieval times. According to the Tacuinum Sanitatis, fennel possessed cold and dry qualities which made it beneficial for various ailments. It was particularly recommended for improving eyesight and treating fevers. However, intriguingly enough, this herbal remedy had one harmful effect - it could potentially disrupt menstrual flow. Yet fear not! The manuscript provides guidance on how to counteract this unwanted consequence with "carrabs" though further details are left to our imagination. The intricate depiction of fennel in this artwork is a testament to both artistic skill and scientific observation prevalent during the period. Its vibrant green hues and detailed anatomy beautifully capture nature's bounty while offering valuable insights into ancient remedies. Through this print by Bridgeman Images found on Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also delve into centuries-old wisdom surrounding natural medicine and plant-based therapies.
