[split] "Plants of the Alchemists"

[Koen G]

Marco: upon rereading your objection I must apologize and say that I was too quick to comment. Sometimes replies are written in a few seconds' time between other obligations, while they should have deserved more attention and consideration.

I must admit that I have not read Toresella's comparison between VMS plants and the "alchemist herbals" tradition. Is he the one who has made the most concrete argument so far? What would you find the most convincing links beween the VMS and this particular tradition? It might be good to bring these arguments to the fore in anticipation of the upcoming article.
