Reviews

'Pristina Medicamenta stands as one of the most outstanding contributions to the study of classical and Medieval botany currently in print' Herbs- Journal of the Herb Society 'Jerry Stannard probably did more than any man this century to kindle academic interest in ancient medical botany, yet his death in 1988 scarcely attracted more than a single obituary. So Variorum's two selected collections, issued as a tribute to his memory, are extremely welcome...These volumes stand together as the most outstanding contribution to the study of classical and mediaeval botany currently in print.' Historic Gardens Review '... a work that belongs in every history of medicine library.' Sudhoffs Archiv
