A lost classic of Western herbalismrediscovered and restored with 200 fullcolor images.Herbalist to King Charles I, John Parkinson (15671650) was a master apothecary, herbalist, and gardener. Famous in his own lifetime for his influential books, his magnum opus, the Theatrum Botanicum, was published in 1640 and ran to 1,766 large pages. The sheer scope and size was perhaps to prove the books downfall, because while it was much reveredand plagiarizedit was never reprinted and, centuries later, has attained the status of an extremely rare and valuable book. Parkinson was writing at a time when Western herbalism was at its zenith, and his skills as a gardener (from his grounds in Covent Garden) combined perfectly with his passion for science, observation, and historical scholarship.In the The Herbalists Bible, Julie BrutonSeal and Matthew Seal have beautifully combined selections from Parkinsons book with their own modern commentary on how each plant is used today to create a truly oneofakind, comprehensive collection of herbal information old and new. Parkinsons clear and lively description of a chosen plants vertues or healing properties sidebyside with the editors notesincluding copious herbal recipesmake this the perfect book for students and practitioners of herbalism, historians, and gardeners, all of whom will welcome this restoration of Parkinsons lost classic.
