I was wondering about Mandrake, but I wasn't sure. I think the first
place I ever heard of Mandrake was in one of those medieval movies. a
rather brutally realistic one - Blood and something???  Anyway, for
more info on the medieval thought on this plant see:

the use 
                                       of mandrake" translated by
Cairistiona
