EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century illustration by Orgione Rizzardo showcases the mesmerizing Burning-bush (Dictamnus albus). The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this botanical wonder to life, capturing its essence in a single print. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the Burning-bush itself, with its delicate white flowers standing tall amidst lush green leaves. Its slender stem portrays strength and resilience, while the roots anchor it firmly to the ground, symbolizing growth and vitality. Adding an element of surprise to this idyllic scene is a slithering snake gracefully winding its way through the foliage. This unexpected encounter between flora and reptile adds intrigue and mystery to an already enchanting composition. The handwritten text accompanying this illustration provides valuable insights into herbal medicine practices from that era. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors relied on nature's offerings for healing purposes. As we gaze upon this square image, we are transported back in time, appreciating both artistry and scientific observation intertwined seamlessly within one frame. There are no people present; instead, nature takes center stage. This extraordinary piece not only celebrates biodiversity but also reminds us of our connection with the natural world throughout history. It invites contemplation on themes such as biology, wildlife, botany, and healthy eating – timeless topics that continue to resonate today
