Excellent book on medieval herbals...

[Nick Pelling <incoming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone (and especially Dana),

I've just had this book recommended by Dr Cathleen Hoeniger:-

        "Medieval Herbals : the Illustrative Traditions" by Minta Collins,
        published by British Library Publishing (London, 2000).

(...it's the second one down on this page...)

More description is here:-

Also: a quick web-trawl threw up another related article by the same author:-

        Mélanges "Genève et l'Italie", Volume III
        Minta Collins "Tractatus de herbis. L'herbier médiéval d'origine 
italienne"

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling......
