Synopsis
Excerpt from Flore Médicale<br/><br/>On cherche vainement à expliquer pourquoi les anciens voyaient dans la mandragore la cause de certains prodiges éclatans; pourquoi ils la regardaient comme un lphiltre puissant et comme une herbe magique qui avait la propriété de rendre heureux celui qui la possédait; de lui faire trouver de l'argent, de féconder les femmes de présager la douceur du l'âpreté _des hivers, de mettre en fuite 'les sorciers, de ramollir l'ivoire au point de le rendre malléahle, et pourquoi, en un mot, ils lui attribuaient une foule d'autres merveilles. »(g11an1er Dim. Botan. Histor. Sur la mandragore.
