The fullest and most correct form of his name is probably “Jules-Charles de l’Escluse.”

University Library, Leyden, Department of Manuscripts, Codex No. 303.

According to Legré, the word “Adversaria” is equivalent to “livre-journal,” i.e. day-book in the commercial sense.

“quem ego emptum cupivissem, sed me deterruit pretium: nam centum ducatis indicabatur, summa cæsarei non mei marsupii.

‘Ekphrasis,’ 1616, pp. 245 etc.

πίναξ = a chart or register.

The n is inverted in the original, no doubt a misprint.

The spelling “Gerarde” on the title-page of ‘The Herball’ is believed to be an error. See ‘A Catalogue of Plants cultivated in the garden of John Gerard,’ edited by B. D. Jackson, London, 1876.

Quoted from Dr O. Cockayne’s translation of an Anglo-Saxon manuscript of the eleventh century. See Appendix II.

The descriptions here quoted are from the edition of 1529.

The expression “yelowe flowre” is an indication of the Continental origin of the Grete Herball. The plant intended is obviously not our British Oxalis acetosella L.; it may possibly be O. corniculata L.

Hypericum androsæmum L.

Stamen = warp or thread.

‘Minus cognitarum stirpium ... ΕΚΦΡΑΣΙϹ.’ 1616. Pars altera, Cap. XXVII. p. 62 “tam in hac, quam in aliis plantis, non enim ex foliis, sed ex flore, seminisque, conceptaculo, et ipso potius semine, plantarum affinitatem dijudicamus.”

“plerisque nomen imposuimus, perspicuitatis gratia, cuius nomine communiter nota aliqua quæ à quolibet in planta observari potest, nomini addita.”

“Transit etiam in arborem in quibusdam regionibus Ricinus, alibi annua stirps.”

The name of this botanist is spelt “Coles” on the title-pages of his works, but the spelling “Cole” appears to be more correct.

“Doctrina verò de signaturis stirpium, à nullo alicuius æstimationis veterum testimonium accepit: deinde tam fluxa et incerta est, ut pro scientia aut doctrina nullatenus habenda videatur.” ‘Pemptades,’ Book I. Cap. XI. 1583.

The edition of 1587 was used in making this translation.

Printed “hoth” in the edition of 1653 from which these quotations are taken.

“Sic enim ordine, quo nihil pulchrius in cœlo, aut in Sapientis animo,...”

The initials “W. C.” may refer either to William Copland or to Walter Cary.

E. H. F. Meyer (Geschichte der Botanik, Vol. 4, 1857, p. 344) refers to an edition of this work published in 1565, but I have not been able to verify this date.
