Culpeper's English Physician, and Complete Herbal… di Nicholas Culpeper
Reproduced from an original edition published in 1826. Absolutely nothing has been added to these mid-1600's author's two works. The cover chosen illustrates from what this book was reproduced.
Not so good on practical herbal advice, but great for historical information or astrological associations (I can see fiction writers using this book as a reference). The modern annotations don't do a complete job of confirming or refuting Culpeper's recommendations.
However, I appreciated the introductory note about Culpeper being dedicated to bringing medicinal knowledge to the masses, as is solidified by passages throughout. I adored Culpeper's personality throughout his descriptions, between his insistence that the rich look out for the poor and his scathing rants about such things as common herbal naming conventions. I never thought an herbal dictionary would be so entertaining.
It's also a very pretty edition.… (altro)

"... with three hundred and sixty and nine medicines made of English herbs that were not in any impression until this etc. "
