[split] f35v parallels "oak and ivy"
#22
Thank you, Koen!
I found the page very interesting. As you say, it doesn't mention the "host" tree nor any other data that could be used to identify the plant. Ancient herbals were often brief on these subjects, relying on the images for the identification of plants, but here there is nothing at all. The chapter is made of:
  • a list of names in different languages;
  • seven recipes that make use of different parts of the plant;
  • a final sentence about its Galenic properties (without the usual indications of "degrees").

The first recipe mentions the berries (bacchas) and it's the only one which provides a quantitative dosage (7 or 9 berries). Several of the recipes mention ivy juice, but it's not clear from which part of the plant this should be extracted.
