Summary
[edit]DescriptionDioscorides Vienna (detail) (cropped).jpg |
English: From the Vienna Dioscorides (fol. 4 verso): The first of two portraits of original author Pedanius Dioscorides. Heuresis (the personification of discovery) presents Dioscorides with a mandrake root. Since this root was supposed to let out a deadly scream when harvested, a dog had it torn out of the ground. Heuresis therefore points to the dead animal at her feet.
Deutsch: Das erste Autorenbild aus dem Wiener Dioskurides (fol. 4 verso): Heuresis (die Personifikation der Entdeckung) überreicht dem Arzt Pedanios Dioscurides eine Alraunwurzel. Da diese beim Ernten einen tödlichen Schrei ausstoßen sollte, ließ man sie von einem Hund aus der Erde reißen. Heurensis weist deshalb auf das verendete Tier zu ihren Füßen |
