Culpeper's Complete Herbal
Autor Nicholas Culpeperen Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2019
English botanist and apothecary Nicholas Culpeper practised his art in the 17th century. He wrote The Complete Herbal, a landmark text in the history of herbal medicine. Over time it has come to be known as Culpeper's Complete Herbal.
This edition is a beautiful work that introduces the reader to hundreds of medicinal plants and their traditional uses. Culpeper, in keeping with the wisdom of his time, often aligns those plants to astrological signs, blending medicine and astrology. Each plant entry typically includes descriptions, growing advice, and instructions for preparation and use.
Representing a bridge between medieval traditions and emerging scientific inquiry in early modern England, Culpeper's Complete Herbal remains a remarkable work, influencing both folk medicine and modern herbalism.
