The Voynich Botanical Plants

Folio 35v. English ivy (Hedera helix). “Pseudo-Apuleius explains that earth ivy is good for the stones in the bladder, for sore of the milt and for bite of creeping things; also it is used in case the nostrils smell ill, or in case a man is not able to hear well and that the head may not ache from the heat of the sun. Bancker’s Herbal adds that if it be sodden in swine’s grease, it is good for all manner of things.” (2) (A)
