What I mean is how to bridge from Germanic Paganism to a manuscript that can be proven to have been written in the early 15th century. Matarese moves here presumably from the Bronze Age to the early Middle Ages. I can't verify this because the chapter is not in the preview. But it is in any case a long way to the representation and application of plants from 1404 on. Theoretically, of course, this is something that ethnobotany can do. How that is done would be interesting to read.
