One of my favourites too: plants in #histphilo #histsci, with a lot of attention on #Descartes! I believe that the intersections between science, #botany and politics are more than relevant and little explored #manipulatingflora

Codex Kentmanus (s. XVI)
Si te impresiona el detalle de estas hojas de lúpulo y de geranio (reproducidas hace casi 500 años) es porque se realizaron con "estampación natural".
Las plantas eran entintadas por partes y estampadas directamente sobre el papel ☘️

Artemisia absinthium 🌿
Herbario de Pseudo-Apuleyo (siglo IV)
Su asociación tradicional con las prácticas de brujería se basaba en que era una de las hierbas usadas para interrumpir el embarazo. Popularmente conocida como ajenjo o hierba santa.

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.

[Fabrizio Baldassarri @FabrizioBaldas6]

Coccia claims that urbanism is originally a vegetal reality, coinciding with a process of mutual domestication in which human beings and some plant species choose to become each other’s “home” (domus). #plants
