Comments
Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 62 - Herbal in the tradition of Dioscorides.
Work on plants and their medicinal properties in 679 chapters, preceded by illustrations, a prologue, and a table of contents listing 697 chapters. The prologue attributes it to Dioscorides, Galen, and Isocrates; the work is very similar to the De materia medica of Dioscorides. With many notes added.
