[Sca-cooks] Fun and ignorance - The Response

[Signora Apollonia Margherita degli Albizzi]

Here are the thought of the editor of the page...

Hi Sarah~



Your commentary first of all was terribly unkind. Second- you offer no
validity for your comments such as a PHD in cultural study for example.
Which I suspect you are not as if you were- you would first of all know that
although N. Culpepper was notorious in his day- that was the case only in
particular realms and not the whole of the medieval era GLOBALLY.



I can source every point I made by respected herbalists- and also- have well
known and respected herbalists who will corroborate that the presentation
given is valid in context and in broad view- which the article was written
as- in addition to my own studies in antiquarian herbalism.



Everyone who has bothered to study herbalism is also aware that much of
Culpepper's information is erroneous to modern standards - and was also
disputed by his contemporaries, as well as by some noted herbalists later to
his day but still historical to us in the 21st century...



Thirdly- the article was not intended as in-depth treatise.



Fourthly- the article was tying in the impact of the religious mindset in
broad terms.



Lastly- clearly you did not read the article as it was intended or in
context. in no way did I state herbalism was NOT a fundamental part of
practical life- I was addressing one small area of it in very brief terms.



I suggest YOU take a deeper look at your own studies- and also at your
unbelievably pompous attitude. I correspond with Doctorates in ancient
studies from all over the world- none of whom would EVER make such clearly
unkind and cruel remarks. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome-
however, your very uncouth approach only serves to discredit any commentary
you may make- and, do NOT email me ever again.



Best wishes-
