Herbs And The Earth An Evocative Excursion Into The Lore & Legend Of Our Common Herbs
(PB )
Product Details:
Description:
More than a gardening book, this is a singular example of a man thinking about what he grows, and into these conjectures weaving the fabric of the past. Here are the various herbs and their horitcultural characteristics; but here, as well, are their antecedents, their ancient lore, and their curious habits.
The mandrake and wormwood of the Bible; the hyssop and saffron from the Song of Songs, the rue, marjoram, and savory of Shakespeare, are all present. So, too, are the herbs of ancient Greece and Rome, the plants of the medieval medicinal garden and the crusades.
