Herbalist to King Charles I, John Parkinson was a master apothecary. His Theatrum Botanicum, published in 1640, ran to 1,788 large pages. In this editorâ s selection, the authors have printed Parkinsonâ s lively description of each plantâ s â vertuesâ or healing properties, adding their own modern commentary on his almost-forgotten herbal recipes.
