Synopsis
Collins shows how the principal herbal traditions of Classical descent were replaced by a new observation of nature that itself paved the way for the magnificent paintings of later French and Italian herbals., Medieval Herbals: The Illustrative Traditions is a new, wide-ranging and generously illustrated study of manuscript herbals produced between 600 - 1450. The book examines the two principal herbal traditions of Classical descent: the Dioscorides manuscripts in Greek, Arabic, and Latin and the Latin Herbarius of Apulcius Platonicus. It shows how, from 1300, the illustrations of the de herbis Traetatus treatises, the first of which was British Library, MS. Egerton 747, showed a new observation of nature, paving the way in the fifteenth century for French Livres des Simples and the magnificent plant paintings of later Italian Herbals. Medieval Herbals provides one of the few syntheses in English of existing research on the subject and also addresses issues of dating, location, production and ownership of the individual codices. Minta Collins demonstrates how many herbals were not only codices for medical scholars but expensively illustrated books for bibliophiles, of equal interest to students of manuscripts, to historians of medicine and botany, and to art historians.

    AAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book is better than described! Condition seems brand new; an amazing value at this price and for this type of quality (I hate these eBay"suggestions" about what we should say in reviews, but I guess it helps the algorithm 🙄). Shipping was very fast and book was extremely well packaged in a nice box. My highest recommendation for Lake County Books and More! I'll absolutely be buying from them again. Thank you-

    A used CD was purchased and shipped on 4-14 and delivered by USPS Media Mail on 4-17. Item received was like new as described in the listing and was professionally packaged for shipping. Case was sealed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in a cardboard box for protection. Disc, booklet, and case were like new, a very cared for item. The condition of CD received, the care in packing, reasonable price, and fast shipping and delivery made for an excellent purchasing experience with Lake Country Books.
