Folder of 5 folios from the Book of Simple Medicines (15th C)    

Selection of 10 magnificent miniatures from the Book of Simple Medicines (15th C), a codex of extraordinary importance for the history of pharmacotherapy and the culmination of medieval European knowledge about the medicines of Greek classical antiquity and the medieval Arab world.

These quasi-original illuminations on parchment paper reproduce the folios in the codex housed at the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg so faithfully that they are indistinguishable from the originals.

The folder contains 5 quasi-original folios illustrated on both sides with illuminations from the Book of Simple Medicines (15th C) measuring approximately 260 x 355 mm.

The following illustrations are merely indicative; the contents of each folder may vary.
