Summary[edit]
| Summary | |
|---|---|
| Description | 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. |
