Durham Plant-Name Glossary
The Durham Plant-Name Glossary (MS Durham, Cathedral Library, Hunter 100) is a glossary translating Latin and Greek plant-names into
Old English Herbarium which translate Latin plant-names with vernacular plant-names.[1] A text very like the Durham Plant-Name Glossary was one major source of the more extensive Laud Herbal Glossary.[2]
