'De Hortus Sanitatis': A rare book detailing some of the earliest European medical texts. A rare medieval book gives an insight into the bizarre medical practices used 500 years ago. The book, first printed in Mainz, Germany, in 1491, is a fusion of late medieval science and folklore. It contains detailed writings and annotated illustrations on plants, herbs, animals, and minerals. Meanwhile, detailed illustrations reveal how physicians used to study the colour of urine to make diagnoses.
