Book synopsis

This essential lexicon lists over 1,100 plant names in a geographical area stretching from Lusitania (Portugal) and Northern Africa to the Ganges (India).Relying on quotations from ancient texts about plants which could be used in the diets of humans and domestic animals, in industry (dyes, perfumes) and most importantly in medicine, this lexicon at long last endows Latin botanical references with genuine content, while discarding the vague equivalents found in contemporary dictionaries.Three indexes supplement this lexicon: the first and second provide Latin equivalents of the French and scholarly Latin terms used by botanists, while the third focuses on geography.
