Male mandrake root. 15th-century artwork of a male mandrake root. The mandrake (Mancragora officinarum) is a European plant that was widely used for its medicinal and narcotic properties. The root was thought to look like a human figure. According to folklore the plant emitted a piercing shriek when uprooted,killing anyone who heard it.

Also called 'Ortus Sanitatis',this work contains treatises on plants,animals and medicinal treatments,and was first published in 1491
