Marco,
Your saying
is very interesting to me because it co-incides with the line of transmission that I've described for the botanical folios' re-entry to the Mediterranean world, though Mesopotamia - and the time-frame is pretty right, too. Not only by consideration of the historical events of that time, but also for purely iconographic reasons, because some of the botanical folios' roots find close stylistic correspondence in some within the Mashhad Dioscorides (made 1152-76).
Very interesting comment. I've made a copy intending to quote you later if you don't mind. I haven't bought a copy of Collins' book, preferring studies by other scholars, so I've quote her via you. Thanks Marco
