 FOREIGN HERBALS 



(Printed books) 



This list includes only the chief works, and those which have some con- 

 nection with the history of the herbal in England. With the exception of the 

 Arbolayre, copies of all the incunabula herbals mentioned below are to be found 

 in the British Museum. Copies in American libraries are noted in the list.

(There are a large number of MSS. of the above extant, eighteen of 

 them being in the Vienna library. Eighty-nine herbs and their virtues 

 are described. The woodcuts in this book are exceptionally fine. (There 

 is only one of plants.) In some copies the woodcuts are coloured by a 

 contemporary artist, possibly Bamler himself, for he was well known 

 as an illuminator before he began printing. Though not strictly a herbal, 

 the above is included in this list, as this and Liber de Proprietatibus Rerum 

 are the earliest printed books containing a section on herbs.) 



1478. Another edition. 



1499. Another edition. Printed at Augsburg by Hanns Schonsperger. 

 Cuts are copies of those in the first edition, with the addition of two 

 others from the Strassburg Hortus Sanitatis of circa 1490.
