1491 Mandrake couple Hortus Sanitatis
1491 Woodblock illustration from two pages of the Ortus (Hortus) sanitatis - translated from the latin as "Garden of Health". It was the first printed natural history encyclopaedia and was published by Jacob Meydenbach in Mainz,Germany in 1491. He describes plants and animals (both real and mythical) together with minerals and various trades,with their medicinal value and method of preparation. The mandrake does have medicinal value in relieving pain. Its wrinkled forked root,however looks like a human body and was beleived to be "alive" in an animal sense. If it was pulled up its scream could kill the collector. Meydenbach says the collector should take a dog and tie its lead to the plant. Then,blocking his his own ears to shut out the lethal shriek,he should hit the dog so that it runs and pulls up the root
