A stylized “herbal” calendar reminiscent of the famous Hippocratic maxim – Your food should be your medicine and your medicine your food. Referring to Hippocrates’ dietary advice, we have placed on the board a description of the most important medicinal herbs along with their illustrations and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci from around 1490. The main illustration is the Vitruvian Man. The work is a revision of Vitruvius’ concept of the proportions of the human body. The Vitruvian Man is Leonardo’s most famous drawing, considered a symbol of combining art with science.

Description
Stylized wall calendar with a wax seal suspended on strings. Dimensions: width 30 cm x 90 cm. The form of the binding is based on the traditional way of hanging wall publications on wooden rods, but we have used our own modification. The upper and lower sleeves containing the supporting rods are connected with decorative metal rivets. It is printed on decorative paper, similar in texture and properties to the handmade papers used in the old days. An additional characteristic element of the publication are the ragged edges of the sheet, which stylistically refer to old incunabula affected by the ravages of time. As in all our wall publications, the paper is coated on both sides with a refining, matte laminate, which strengthens it, protects it from moisture and dust. Additionally, this treatment makes the calendar similar to original parchment. The whole thing resembles the scrolls of Roman scriptures. The original binding of the Pergamena Publishing House provided with a decorative string for hanging.
