72 JOHN GOODYER 



Ca. 6. The grasse under the title of Grainen Patiniculatwn, p. 8, seemes to be 

 Grainen amourettes Clusii, p. ccxviii. If it be so? howe came it to be 

 Granien tomentosum S^ acerosinn Lobell : in Icon. pag. 6. I have two 

 editions of Lobell's Icons printed at severall tymes, the first MDLXXXi, 

 printed at Anwerpe, and hath but one table, viz. the lattin, french, duch all 

 together; the other was printed at Anwerpe A". MDXCI and hath severall 

 tables, everie language by itself. The first it seems was one Willm. Mounts, 

 a Physician dwellinge at Mallinge (in what Sheere 1 knowe not) who hath 

 added to some herbes certaine noates, and thus he hath noted of GTamen 

 paniculosunt phalarioides Lobel, Icon. p. 7, ' Grasse called in Surrey 

 braunched grasse, in Come : and in orchards, or shadowie places usuallie 

 mowen. They seeth it in water with Purslaine and small Reysons for 

 wormes, in the somer tyme, and geve it comonly to very younge children '. 

 I must leave this Grasse (which Gerard hath confusedlie written ofj to be 

 sett dulie, and in his true place by you. 



Gratnen sylvaticiim, I knowe not where it is written of, in Tabermont 

 I thinke. 



Ca. 7. Their descriptions are all in dutch. 



Ca. 8. The i is described I knowe not where, the 2 you shall find in the 

 Obs. p. 10, the eares are not described. 



Ca. 9. The i is in the Obs. p. 10 the 2 I knowe not where, belike in Tabermont. 



Ca. 10-16, 18, 19. Their descriptions are in the Teutonick or Duch. 



Ca. 16. The 2), the description saith the knobs or buttons growe on both sides 

 of the stalk, the figure hath them but on one side, query whether this be not 

 Gratnen niontanian spicatiim Clusii, p. ccxix. 



Ca. 17. The 1) I can observe no such cuttinge qualitie in the edges of the 

 leaves of this grasse. — Vertues. Many more vertues are spoken of in 

 Advers. p. 468, and if you please you may add the best of them. 



Ca. 21. I see nothing that 1 can amend. 



Ca. 22. Cyperus Typhiniis 1 know not where to find the descriptions. 



' Venarum spiracula laxat Cyperus.' Only Turner hath taken notice of 

 theis: words which I have added. I take it the meaninge of it is that it 

 openeth the small branches of vena porta, called mesentericae venae. If 

 it be so ?, it is a speciall vertue not to be omitted. [MS. ff. 149-52 



Goodyer also made several corrections in the text of his copy of the 1633 

 edition of the Herbal, e. g. on p. 567 he notes that the figure given for Saxifraga 

 anglicana alsinefolia is really the picture of Synanchica, and should be placed 

 on p. 1120. Also that the adjoining figure named S. palustris is really an 

 Arenaria. This mistake explains Johnsons confused account of Saxifraga 

 anglicana on p. 568. 



His other additions consist of a few medical notes on the virtues of certain 

 herbs, e.g. Tithytnaliis cuprcssinus, p. 499, Ela/criion, p. 913, and Vicia niaior 

 sylvestriSf p. 1229. 



1634 



After Johnson had sent his Gerard emaciilatus to the 

 printers, we are left with next to no pubHshed news of 

 Goodyer's doings for the next twenty years. Fortunately
