 This is an herbal, one of the earliest, IIRC.  Lady Diana, aren't you
 familiar with this source?

    Sorry for a late answer--our event last weekend has me way behind in my 
mail!
    I know that such a book exists, and have seen articles and references 
about it, but that's the extent of my knowledge. What you probably remember 
is my inquiring about a source for a modern English translation of it. I'm 
still hoping to find one, as I don't read anything else. Languages are *not* 
one of my skills, I fear............. ;-)
    Off topic--Christianna, would you like the redaction of that 
slightly-post-period-Spanish-chocolate-drink that I came up with for Aedan's 
feast, or have you already done your own long ago? (G)
