Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the history of Botany in England, tracing its development from the time of the Druids to the 16th century. You'll discover how the study of plants evolved from ancient, often superstitious practices, to a more scientific approach, informed by the writings of Greek scholars like Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Pliny. The author reveals the challenges of deciphering and interpreting ancient texts related to plants, highlighting the difficulties in accurately identifying the herbs and trees described by early writers. You'll explore the development of herbalism during the Middle Ages, encountering influential figures like Avicenna and a host of anonymous authors who compiled knowledge passed down through generations. The arrival of printed texts in the 15th century ushered in a new era of discovery and exploration, as scholars began to access and study the works of the ancients. The book culminates in a fascinating account of William Turner, considered the father of English Botany. His ground-breaking Herbal, the first original book on Botany published in England, marks a significant turning point in the field, paving the way for future advancements and enriching our understanding of the plant world.
