This volume brings together two books dedicated to plants in The Book of the subtleties of creatures from a diversity of natures, also known as the more compact, but less evocative Physica: Plants (Book I) and Trees (Book III), the only medical books of the twelfth century, works of St. Hildegard of Bingen. Bernard Verten offers a new translation of these books, based on the latest knowledge of the text.
