Herbalist. 1534. Library of Ivan the Terrible

The manuscript “The Well-Cooled Garden of Health,” written in 1534, is the first translation into Russian of the German incunabula “Hortus Sanitatis” (“Garden of Health”), published in Lübeck in 1492. This is a unique monument of folk medicine of the 16th century, containing brief characteristics of many medicinal plants and detailed illustrations. The book consists of 688 chapters, of which 542 are devoted to the description of plants (“herbs”), and 146 to the description of “stones” or “beads.” The list of plants is obverse, and almost every chapter has a corresponding picture. Most of them were made with a pen in accordance with the images of the translated original - the Lubech edition of 1492. The arrangement of the pictures on the sheets varies, but the picture usually accompanies the title. Each plant, twig, flower is depicted in detail and in different positions. There are also images of people, a capricorn, and a water cannon. According to Russian researchers, this is the only book that reliably belonged to Ivan the Terrible.

There is a legend about a huge number of Greek and Latin manuscripts that belonged to the Byzantine emperors, which were saved after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and brought to Moscow in 1472 by Sophia Paleologus, the bride of Grand Duke Ivan III. However, this legend has been of interest to scientists for more than two centuries. The history of the mysterious library of Ivan the Terrible is one of the popular topics for journalistic sensations and “historical” fiction.
