As such, it provided a landmark in the history of botany and herbalism, breaking new ground in its accuracy of observation and its scientific thoroughness. For the first time since its original publication, the entire Herball is now available in a facsimile edition which faithfully reproduces the beautiful sixteenth-century black-letter text and woodcut illustrations. To aid the twentieth-century reader, a modernised transcript, together with keyed-in notes, a glossary of unfamiliar terms and comprehensive indexes have been provided. Biographical information on this influential physician, naturalist and cleric is also included to give an indication of his contribution to sixteenth-century English history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e William Turner: an assessment\u003cbr\u003e A New Herball (Part II, 1562)\u003cbr\u003e Transcript\u003cbr\u003e Notes to Part II\u003cbr\u003e A New Herball (Part III, 1568)\u003cbr\u003e Transcript\u003cbr\u003e Notes to Part III\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e List of references\u003cbr\u003e Index of Turner's chapter headings\u003cbr\u003e Index of persons\u003cbr\u003e Index of places\u003cbr\u003e Index of Turner's English names\u003cbr\u003e Index of modern English names\u003cbr\u003e Index of scientific names\u003cbr\u003e Index of virtues.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Botany%20\u0026amp;%20plant%20sciences%20%5BPST%5D%22\"\u003ePST\u003c\/a\u003e], History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005919121688,"sku":"9780521445498","price":184.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521445498_80d9a698-5660-4818-a078-0fe374ee1428.gif?v=1691381982","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/william-turner-a-new-herball-parts-ii-and-iii-hardback-9780521445498","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
