Medieval Herbal Remedies (eBook, PDF)

The Old English Herbarium and Early-Medieval Medicine

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Featured here is a modern translation of a medieval herbal, preceded by a study showing how this technical treatise on herbs was turned into a literary curiosity. The transformation began with its first translation in 1864, one that continues to affect how this and other early-medieval medical texts are read.
