Codex of Medicine of Frederick II - Facsimile Editions and Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts

Codex of Medicine of Frederick II - Facsimile Editions and Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts

The codex was acquired by Cosimo de Medici the Elder for the Medicea Laurenziana Library, Florence. It gathers various medical testimonies from the Hervario of Pseudo-Apuleio, the Medicinis ex libris feminis et masculinis of Pseudo-Dioscorides, and others. The 510 miniatures in Mid-Byzantine style not only depict plants and animals, but also the described curative measures, the doctors and their patients, and often the places where these cures were administered. The illuminations cover practically every folio, both recto and verso, and most of them are protected with a fine sheet of paper stitched inside each fascicle.
