Sounds good, I get tired of the doctrine of signatures after a while.
That is what most all medieval herbals were based on, and as I said,
Gerrards herbal is the basis for an amazing number of modern herbals. I
cant really think of one that wasn't a recap with  a few new minor
entries. I look foreward to getting a copy. I dont do swedish, but I
have sort of got the hang of cognates between norwegian and english-my
husband is in the navy and has ported a few times in Tromso and brought
back museum fliers and foods, sort of like a guess the word game from
french class in elementary school!lol
