Abstract

THIS interesting vocabulary, which Mr. Mowat has transcribed and edited from a manuscript in the Bodleian Library, is offered by him as a contribution to the study of English plant-names. To explain why it has this and also other claims to attention, we must say a word about the class of literature to which it belongs.

Alphita.

A Medico-Botanical Glossary from the Bodleian Manuscript Selden B 35. Edited by J. L. G. Mowat, Fellow of Pembroke College. [Anecdota Oxoniensia. Mediæval and Modern Series. Vol. I. Part 2.] (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1887.)
