Transcriber's Note
Archaic spelling is preserved as printed.
Inconsistent hyphenation is preserved as printed.
Minor punctuation and accent usage errors have been repaired.
The following amendments have been made:
Page 56—theee amended to thee—"... and it shale make thee light and merrie."
Page 66—the footnote marker for note 53 was omitted. The transcriber has added it in what appeared to be the appropriate place.
Page 67—B. amended to M.—"... and Mr. H. M. Barlow[2] supports the deduction that ..."
Page 104—Zouch amended to Zouche—"Lord Zouche sent him rare seeds from Crete, Spain and Italy."
Page 178—presumaby amended to presumably—"Lady Sedley, the first owner, and presumably author of the book, ..."
Page 234—ΦΥΤΟΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ originally had a roman C as the final letter. This has been amended.
The following items were of note:
Page 197—the word me in "Agnus castus ys an herbe that me clapys Tustans or Porke levys" may be a typographic error for mē. As it is quoted material, and the transcriber has been unable to confirm one way or the other, it has been preserved as printed.
Page 226—it appears that the word 'cetera' has been omitted following a Tironian et. This has been preserved as printed—"1484. Herbarius Maguntie impressus. Anno [et] CLXXXIV."
The frontispiece has been moved to follow the title page. Other illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they were not in the middle of a paragraph.
Alphabetic links have been added to the index for ease of navigation.
