Gerard’s Herbal, or The Generall Historie of Plantes, is the fourth gathering in 400 years, in a line of descent from the original folio, the 1633 edition enlarged & amended by Thomas Johnson, and the 1927 Marcus Woodward version. The Arboral features the trees of the Great Herbal, and this edition contains 102 separate entries and 133 illustrations taken from the original woodcuts. Gerard’s Arboral is a Tudor and Elizabethan treasure trove of botany, medicine, gardening, textiles, cookery and travel.
Gerard’s Arboral is available from 10 October 2012 through Amazon, Amazon UK, and other booksellers worldwide. Cover design and photo by Holly Ollivander.
