[Trinity] General discussion of Trinity College MS O.2.48 Apuleii Herbarium
#21
I have seen that Montague R. James has written You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that includes this one. I have read some of his great ghost stories, but I didn't know he was a medievalist Smile

I have transcribe and translated a page from the ms (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. 54v). I hope to transcribe a few more in the future. 

There would be so many other things one could do to approach this manuscript! 
  • An extensive list of plant names - it wouldn't have to be perfect to be useful (like that of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.);
  • A systematic comparison of two or three plants from the initial part with different Pseudo-Apuleius manuscripts;
  • A systematic comparison of the illustrations with those in the VMS;
  • An analysis of the text to see if there are other subsections: Rene has pointed out that Pseudo-Apuleius and related texts appear at the beginning, but likely the following pages are not homogeneous and come from different sources. For instance, the Indian plants pointed out by Koen might be grouped in a few pages.
