Herbals, Their Origin and Evolution: A Chapter in the History of Botany 1470-1670 by Agnes Robertson Arber is a scholarly and detailed exploration of the development of botanical literature during the Renaissance. First published in 1912, this work traces the emergence of herbals-books describing plants and their medicinal uses-and examines their critical role in the evolution of modern botany. Arber investigates the historical, cultural, and scientific contexts of these texts, analyzing how knowledge of plants was recorded, classified, and transmitted across Europe. She highlights the contributions of key figures in early botanical study and demonstrates how these herbals served as both practical guides for physicians and foundational texts for natural scientists. Combining meticulous research with clear exposition, Arber's work remains an essential reference for historians of science, botany enthusiasts, and scholars interested in the interplay between literature and scientific discovery in early modern Europe.
