[Trinity] General discussion of Trinity College MS O.2.48 Apuleii Herbarium
#26
Rene: Exactly, the section I've been studying starts at 107r with the first plant (from India Maior). Here the names get really weird. The script and thickness of the pen also changes, and there's no more words marked in red ink (rubrication).

The structure of the sections also becomes more rigid. Where the first parts show many synonyms (others call it....) the section from 107r on holds to a strict pattern of "The name is... Greek:.... Hebrew:.... It grows in..." And the names are hard to interpret. Very fascinating.

It might also be worth noting that here the text becomes more cramped and really starts hugging around the drawings.
