[Trinity] General discussion of Trinity College MS O.2.48 Apuleii Herbarium

[MarcoP]

What interests me is the incipit and explicit of the prayer in the Trinity Gale Manuscript O.2.48.

The description says:
"The text begins with a prayer, to recite when preparing plant-based medicines, "

Which I am unable and incapable of reading.

This is an interesting subject. Many Pseudo-Apuleius manuscripts contain two pagan incantations, one to the Earth and the other to All Plants. This seems to be a version of the second precatio / incantation. Apparently, the same version appears in Harley 1431 (Precantatio omnium herbarum ad singulas curas).

You can read the two incantations in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., but the text of the plant incantation (13v) seems different from that of the Canterbury ms.
