Plantain - the miracle plant

Plantain — one of many wonderful full-page watercolour illustrations to be found in a 16th-century edition of Pedanius Dioscorides’s work on herbal medicine, De Materia Medica. Dioscorides (ca. 40–90 AD), a Greek physician and botanist, is considered to be the father of pharmacology. His book was translated from the original Greek to Latin, Arabic, and Spanish, and continued to be in use with additions and commentaries written by various authors, one of them being Italian doctor Pietro Andrea Mattioli (1501–1577). Describing one hundred new plants not included by Dioscorides, Mattioli’s expansion of the book first appeared in Italian and was later translated into Latin, French, Czech, and German. These illustrations, found in Mattioli’s version, are dated between 1564–1584 and are the creation of the Italian artist and botanist Gherardo Cibo (1512–1600). More here: https://buff.ly/2xyd8q1
