On October 8, curator Dot Porter will bring out our 15th century copy of a work, in Greek, 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. Many notes have been added.
