 ENGLISH HERBALS 



(Printed books) 



The Herbals are listed according to authors, or, in the case of anonymous 

 works, according to the names by which they are usually known, and all known 

 editions are given. In cases where only one copy of an edition is known the 

 library where it is to be found is indicated. Editions mentioned in Ames, 

 Hazlitt, etc., but of which no copies are now known, are listed, but in 

 each case the fact that the only mention of them is to be found in one of the 

 above is stated. [ ] indicates books which are not strictly herbals, but whose 

 omission would make any bibliography of herbals incomplete. 



BartholomcEus A nglicus. 



1495. [Bartholomaeus Anghcus. De proprietatibus rerum.] The seventeenth 

 book of the above — containing nineteen chapters — is on herbs. It was the 

 first original work on plants by an English writer to be printed, and the 

 woodcut at the beginning of the book was probably the first botanical 

 illustration to be printed in an EngUsh book.
