I do intend to study for myself what herbs may have been available in Anglo-Saxon England. Since it is based upon earlier, Mediterranean sources, the mention of an herb is not a guarantee that is was available in England. An excellent and informative source, the book makes use of three tenth-century manuscripts concerning health and medical practices: the Laecnunga manuscript, the Old English Herbarium, and Bald’s Third Leechbook, presented with facing-page translations. There are comprehensive sections on Anglo Saxon materia medica, and information concerning amulets and charms, causes of disease, dreams, omens and tree-lore. Recipes include wyrtdrencas (wort-drinks: herbal infusions), sealf (salves, ointments) and a treatment for “flying venom.” A fascinating reference and an entertaining browse. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
