[Essentials] List of relevant herbal manuscripts?

[Koen G]

So it seems that scope is a real problem. I wouldn't attempt to present a whole overview of all somewhat possibly related herbals though, since then, as you correctly remark, we're writing a monograph on the herbal tradition.

This is why I'd favor concrete properties, for example "one large plant drawing per page". Unless I'm mistaken, selecting properties like these will drastically limit the amount of manuscripts we must include, while at the same time being informative.

Perhaps instead if "most relevant herbals" I'd better say "Herbals which share rare properties with the VM"
