What methods and sources are most appropriate for the study of medicinal herbs and herbal practices of the past? This collection provides historians with a coherent guide to a variety of sources in relation to medicinal plants that they have thus far lacked. Critical Approaches to the History of Western Herbal Medicine encourages a serious re-assessment of research in the history of herbal medicine and provides examples of appropriate methodologies and critical examinations of relevant sources. In this innovative collection, historians and researchers from a range of disciplines come together to share material on the identification and use of medicinal plants, the activities of people involved with herbal medicine and the investigation of past herbal therapeutic beliefs and practice. Classical and medieval scholars, social and literary historians, archaeologists and ethnobotanists all contribute to this exploration of the history of Western herbal medicine."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aHerbs$xTherapeutic use 606 $aMateria medica, Vegetable 606 $2History of medicine 607 $aWestern countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHerbs$xTherapeutic use. 615 0$aMateria medica, Vegetable. 676 $a615.32109 702 $aFrancia$b Susan 702 $aStobart$b Anne 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153176903321 996 $aCritical approaches to the history of western herbal medicine$92548139 997 $aUNINA
