Plants have long shaped the material p ractice and imagination of pharmacy. Far more than animals or minerals\, p lants and their products were central to medicine in premodern epistemolog ies. Over centuries\, images and imaginings of vegetal \;materia m edica \;played a profound role in human conceptions of and intera ctions with the natural world. In many ways\, they continue to do so. Conv ersely\, the therapeutic efficacy of plants and their products impacted br oader visual and material cultures and practices. \;Thus\, premodern p harmacological techniques interacted with the practices of image-making\, artistic processes\, and art.

Notwithstanding this close\, underly ing relationship between art and pharmacology in surviving medieval texts on healing and pharmacy produced between the 7th- 14th \;century\, visualizations of medical substances have not yet suffi ciently been the focus of art historical studies. Images of plants and the ir pigments and dyes\, invite further investigations into their epistemic status as well as their therapeutic\, and mimetic capacities. What forms o f knowledge do these images\, materials\, and substances provide? What aud iences do they address? How can they be situated\, between the practices a nd interests of scribes/painters\, scholars\, nuns and monks\, physicians\ , apothecaries\, gardeners\, rhizotomes\, and also readers – while takin g into consideration the changing status of these human actors across soci ety\, gender\, time\, and space? What can such images\, materials\, and su bstances tell us about the interconnections between human and vegetal worl ds? What role do colors\, pigments and dyes\, scent or the incorporation o f prayers and charms play in the creation of images of healing? Moreover\, how does medicinal\, pharmacological or toxicological\, plant-related kno wledge circulate across vast (plant) geographies? The conference wants to connect the representations of \;simplicia \;such as ging er\, plantain\, pennyroyal\, saffron\, artemisia\, liquorice\, or strawber ry from cities\, rural communities\, courts\, and religious congregations in the Indo-Pacific\, the so-called Levant\, the Black Sea\, the Mediterra nean\, and the Medieval West.
