Neckam, Alexander (1157-1217) 
Sometimes erroneously called Richard Neckham. 
Brotherstoh, *^The garden of Richard Neckham*^, in 
Gard, Chron. (3) 47:273 (Apr.30,1910}, mentions 
Neckam*s two works: ’’Be naturis rerum”, contain¬ 
ing chapters on plant life and grafting, and a 
descriptive list of garden plants; and ’’Be laudi- 
bus divinae sapientibus”, which has a chapter on 
herbs, another on trees and cereals. 
Sieveking, p.30-31, quotes briefly from the 
first of these works. Both were published under 
the editorship of Thomas Wright, in ’’Rerum bri- 
tannicarum medii aevi scriptores”, in 1858.
