I was in high school and totally into gardening, especially herb gardening. (No particular reason, maybe I didn't like bland food? Maybe it was just something different to enjoy?) I decided I needed to have Gerard's herbal so I went to the library.

The librarian said, "So, you're going to the Renaissance Festival dressed up like an - herb??"

"No. . . ."

What's odd is I remember this conversation but couldn't tell you the names of most of the people in my class.

It was an interesting book to look at, though!… (plus d'informations)

If you can't gave the real thing, this is the next best. Cream laid paper. Etching to title page. Almost a facsimile of the extracts from Gerard's Historie of Plants, although the typography is updated.

From a rare and vast storehouse of botanical information — beautiful, royalty-free illustrations of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and garden flowers. Ideal for craftwork as well as for use in gardening books, cookbooks and general-interest publications, these handsome illustrations will also delight herbal enthusiasts. 214 black-and-white illustrations.

The 1633 edition revised and enlarged by Thomas Johnson. Containing almost 2,850 plant descriptions and 2,705 superb illustrations, Gerard’s Herbal is a monumental work, the book all modern English herbals are derived from, and the one herbal every serious enthusiast should have in its entirety.
