One of the most admired medical books of the Middle Ages, Medicina
Antiqua is a compendium of popular Late Antique texts brought
together in the 6th century. It contains writings on herbs and
materia medica by authors heavily reliant on the works of Pliny and
Dioscorides. Of the 50 surviving copies of this influential
miscellany produced before the end of the Middle Ages, the present
manuscripts is one of the most enticing. Executed in Southern Italy
in the firt half of the 13th century, it is beautiful illustrated
in vibrant body colour with plants, animals and scenes of medical
treatments, faithfully drawn after late antique models. The
facsimile of the complete manuscript is followed by an essay which
sets the manuscript in the context of the history of medicine.
Codicological information is also provided and all plants and
animals are identified.
