They may be from _Hildegard von Bingen's Physica_.  Newly translated into
Enlish for the first time, available from Healing Arts Press, 1 Park St,
Rochester, VT 05767, at a cost of $25.00.  Reviewed in the Feb/Mar Herb
Companion magazine.  They had this to say:

"The text reveals nine systems of healing, each based on categories of natural
creation: Plants, Elements, Trees, Stones, Fish, Birds, Animals, Reptiles, and
Metals.  Describing the attributes of each in terms of hot, cold, moist and
dry.  Hildegard describes how to prepare and apply many different remedies,
what herbs and other materials to ignore, and what substances--dragon's blood,
for instance--are downright poisonous."

Walk in peace,
