Today's episode is one of my favorites among recent topics: a look at the formal French garden, and its surprisingly intricate relationship to philosophy under Louis XIV! (Also very pleased at a pun about him I included here.)

Herbario Carrara (Padua, s. XIV)🌿
Copia de "El libro de los medicamentos simples" de Serapión el Joven, de origen árabe.
El tratado botánico original se perdió y su copia latina fue clave para la medicina medieval. Sobre el/la artista, solo sabemos que sería de origen italiano.
