EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Marigold, Calendula officinalis, and True Chamomile (Chamomilla vera) - A Botanical Discovery from the 16th Century This handcoloured woodblock engraving, taken from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557, showcases the Marigold (Calendula officinalis) and True Chamomile (Chamomilla vera) in their intricate botanical glory. The meticulously detailed illustration, a testament to the artistic and scientific prowess of the time, is a visual feast for those interested in the history of botany and herbal medicine. The Marigold, also known as the Pot Marigold, is depicted in full bloom, its vibrant, golden-orange petals unfurling around a central disk of contrasting deep-red. A native to southern Europe and southwestern Asia, Marigold has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of wounds, skin inflammation, and fever. True Chamomile, or German Chamomile, is illustrated in its dried form, with its white, daisy-like flowers and feathery foliage. Originating from Europe and Asia, this aromatic herb has been valued for its calming and soothing effects, making it a popular ingredient in traditional herbal teas and remedies for anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. This botanical illustration is an exquisite example of the 16th-century European fascination with the natural world and the quest to document and understand the medicinal properties of various plants. The woodblock engraving appears in this pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, which features captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscripts, showcasing the global reach and impact of botanical knowledge during this period.
