This is a remarkable collection of scholarly Middle English texts that deal with astrology, fortunetelling, medicine, horticulture, marine navigation, as well as "popular and practical" scientific matters, as they were perceived in the Middle Ages. This groundbreaking volume is indispensable to scholars of medieval studies, the history of science and medicine, early English literature and language, manuscripts, technical prose, and popular culture.
