Dear Scholars,
The translation of a Medieval manuscript page has revealed the record of a rare Mediterranean plant, from c. 1444. The plant is Atropa baetica, which is now endangered and included on the IUCN Red List. The plant was used in all manner of contemporaneous medicines and is an interesting anthropological case study in ethnographic remedies associated with belief systems prior to the advent of science.
You may freely download a paper giving the translation and additional information: https://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/004797 It should be of interest to anyone studying Mediterranean botany, as well as the Anthropology of medicine, so please disseminate the link as you like.
Kindest regards,
Dr. Gerard Cheshire.
