- Resum
- The Herbal transmitted by the manuscript Paris, BNF, lat. 13955 (= Herb. par.), ff. 136r-147v has a main source, an Herbal which the manuscript tradition attributes to Apuleius, and two secondary sources, a Latin translation of Dioscorides' De materia medica, and Pliny's Natural History. The article studies a medical recipe that Dioscorides describes in mat. med. 4,64, referring it to the poppy. The same recipe is attested in a Latin translation in the Liber medicinae ex herbis feminis, chapter 46. The author of Herb. Par. employs the same Latin recipe featuring poppy twice, once in the chapter dedicated to the poppy and once more in the chapter on henbane, replacing in this instance poppy with henbane. This double employment makes it possible to establish the text of Herb. Par. 4,8 in a definitive way. On the other hand, taking a text of a source in order to write a recipe referred to a different plant was a usual practice among the excerptores in Late Antiquity and early Middle Ages.
