[Diana L Skaggs]

There is also a chapter on corn/maize in the herbal of Leonhard Fuchs
1543. He says that it is used to make bread, that it was quite common in
his time and that it was grown in many gardens ("Dise korn seind
erstlich ... auß der Turckey in vnnser land bracht worden. Bekommen
gern/ darumb sie nun fast gemein seind/ vnd in vilen gärten gezilt
werden. (...) Man macht aber auß disem korn über die massen schön weiß
meel/ vnd becht darnach brodt darauß/ das macht leichtlich
verstopffung"; Fuchs 1543, chap. CCCXX).

Both Bock and Fuchs have pictures.
