BOOK OF SIMPLE MEDICINES, 15TH CENTURY. Ed. Moleiro
Le Livre des simples médecines (The Book of Simple Medicines), from the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg, is a unique codex, not only because of the great beauty of its illustrations, but because it corresponds to the culmination of medieval European knowledge about the substances of the three kingdoms of nature that serve to cure or alleviate diseases.
