A parchment codex of the early sixth centurya.d., now in Vienna, contains a remarkable series of nearly 400 full-page illustrations of individual botanical species. These illustrations accompany an alphabetical recension of a pharmacological treatise on the medicinal properties of plants written by Dioskourides of Anazarbos, a Greek author of the first centurya.d. Both the date of the codex and the style of its botanical illustrations have encouraged suggestions that the latter were modelled somehow on classical archetypes. This article presents new observations in support of the classical archetypes theory, but questions the traditional view that these archetypes were transmitted by ‘illustrated texts’ or ‘pattern books’ executed in papyrus or parchment. What follows is a new hypothesis concerning the nature of the artistic intermediaries used by painters, mosaicists and sculptors during antiquity.

上古时期绘有的薯蓣抄本与图像的传播

六世纪初的羊皮纸抄本广告.,现在在维也纳,包含一个非凡的系列,近 400 个整页插图,展示了单个植物物种。这些插图伴随着对一世纪希腊作家 Anazarbos 的 Dioskourides 所写的关于植物药用特性的药理学论文的字母顺序修订广告. 抄本的日期和植物插图的风格都让人认为后者是以某种方式以古典原型为蓝本的。本文提出了支持经典原型理论的新观察结果,但质疑传统观点,即这些原型是通过用纸莎草纸或羊皮纸执行的“插图文本”或“模式书”传播的。接下来是一个关于古代画家、马赛克画家和雕塑家使用的艺术中介性质的新假设。
