New in Wiki: Tractatus de herbis (Treatise on Herbs)

[Paul Ferguson]

"The Tractatus de herbis (Treatise on Herbs), sometimes called Secreta Salernitana (Secrets of Salerno), is a textual and figurative tradition of herbariums handed down through several illuminated manuscripts of the late Middle Ages and potentially the second half of the 13th century. These treatises present pure plant, mineral, or animal substances with therapeutic properties. Depending on the version, there are between 500 and over 900 entries, grouped in alphabetical order. Originating in Italy, they were distributed throughout Europe and contributed to the transmission and popularity of the pharmacopeia of the Salerno School of Medicine."
