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)
