- Resum
- This book presents for the first time and up-to-date and easy-to-read translation (into modern English) of a medical reference work that was used in Western Europe from the fifth century well into the Renaissance, which was translated into Anglo-Saxon around the year 1000. Listing 185 medicinal plants, the uses for each, and remedies that were compounded using them, the translation will fascinate medievalist, medical historians and the layman alike.
