HERB - Period references and lists

[LYN M PARKINSON]

One of the sources you want to look at is 

Landsberg, Sylvia. The Medieval Garden. Thames & Hudson, 1995.  ISBN
0-500-01691-7.  	Thames & Hudson, Inc. 500 Fifth Avenue, NY 10110.
	The author has designed several 12th to 16th C. gardens,
including one at Shrewsbury 	Quest for the fictional Brother
Cadfael and one in Winchester called Queen Eleanor's Garden.  Contains
lists of plants from period works, photos of present day gardens,
	reproductions of garden plans, 14th & 15th C. paintings which
include gardens, labors of the month paintings, lots of good
illustrations.  Have not seen some of the reproductions before; they are
of interest to the costumer, as well.  This is nice to 	browse
through even if you are not a gardener, as I am not, but wonderful, if
like   There's a photo that contains a yellow flowered woad plant in
bloom, too.  Peasants' gardens, Ladies' pleasaunce, orchards, all kinds
of gardens, here.
	This also has suggestions for your own garden, vine arbor, rose
trellis, and much more.  

Don't forget the Leechcraft books.  There are a number, but this is the
one I have.

Wellcome, Henry S. _Anglo-Saxon Leechcraft,  An Historical Sketch of
Early English Medicine, Lecture Memoranda American Medical Association,
Atlantic City, 1912_, Burroughs Wellcome & Co. London, England.  Reprint
by The Rose & Nefr Press, 7307 W. Franklin Ave., St. Louis Park, Minn.
55426.

He mentions, and shows illustrations from _Herbarium Apuleius Platonicus_
c. AD 1000-1050.  He mentions some other ms., but isn't too precise on
the documentation.
