This volume is divided into four main parts... The first of these consists of an edition and translation of the major work, The Old English Herbal, together with an edition and translation of the shorter work, titled here Old English Remedies from Animals.
Perhaps the greatest contribution of the volume lies in its unwavering call to approach these texts with compassion and respect... If these remedies are to be understood, they must be appreciated in the context of their time, culture, and the human experiences they reflect.
