The
illustrations of plants in the 'front' of the manuscript look as if they
were drawn from dried and pressed specimens. Does anyone know when this practice
was started in Europe, or elsewhere? I think I
can identify a couple of these plants, but would first like to get the
scientific name for them. I only know them by the name the locals use. I'm still
not finished downloading all of the pages, but I'm excited about what I am
finding.
