Let's see... I have the full sized Gerard and Besler, Sweerts, Tacuinum
Sanitatis,
and a bunch of other later ones including the dreaded Culpepper.
I have read the Leech Book of Bald, Turner's Herbal, and am familiar
with classical works of Galan, the herbals of Lyte and Fuchs.  I also have
many histories of plants and gardening.  My library on plants is very
extensive
as I am a landscape architect.
