EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history captured on vellum by the French School in the 11th century. Titled "Ms 250 Dropsical woman cured by the baths by St. Radegund, from The Life of St. Radegund" it depicts an awe-inspiring scene that unfolds within the pages of this medieval manuscript. Intriguingly, we witness Saint Radegund, Queen of the Franks and wife of Clothaire, employing her extraordinary healing powers to treat a dropsical woman suffering from edema. With great care and compassion, she guides her patient towards a bath believed to possess miraculous properties. The image beautifully portrays the merging of faith and medicine during this era as people sought solace and remedies for their ailments through spiritual means. The Romanesque backdrop adds an air of mystique to this historical narrative. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the power attributed to holy figures but also of humanity's ceaseless pursuit for better health and well-being throughout centuries past. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bibliotheque Municipale in Poitiers, France, let us reflect on how far medical science has come since then while acknowledging that ancient beliefs continue to shape our understanding today. This photograph serves as a testament to both our enduring fascination with history and our unwavering desire for good health – two timeless aspects that define human existence across generations.
