Description

From Amara Dulcis to Yarrow, All-Heal to Viper’s Bugloss, Culpeper’s “Complete Herbal & English Physician Enlarged” offers remedies for all ills known to 17th century society. Together with the alphabetical section on herbs, their provenance & properties, there is “The English Physician & Family Dispensary,” which provides an astrologo-physical discourse of the human virtues in the body of man. Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) studied at Cambridge & became an apothecary, physician & astrologer in London. While only the imprudent would follow his dictates today without question, the “Herbal” remains a fascinating historical treatise, & stands as a monument to botanical & medical science. Reprint.
