Title Herball, or, General historie of plantes
Subject Botany--Pre-Linnean works
Creator Gerard, John, 1545-1612
Description The second edition of Gerard's herbal, enlarged and amended by Thomas Johnson, printed in London by A. Islip, J. Norton & R. Whitakers. First published in 1597, it became the most prevalent botany book in English in the 17th century. Except for additions of some plants from his own garden and from North America, Gerard's Herbal is largely an unacknowledged English translation of Rembert Dodoens's herbal, published in 1554, itself highly popular in Dutch, Latin, French and other English translations. Gerard's Herball contains profuse, high-quality drawings of plants, with the printer's woodcuts largely derived from Continental European sources, but there is an original title page with a copperplate engraving by William Rogers.
