Hieronymus Bock's 'De stirpium nomenclaturis' (1552) is the Latin version (translated by David Kyber) of his seminal German herbal 'New Kreütter Buch'. Despite Bock's status as one of the 'fathers of botany,' extensive searches in scholarly catalogs, Open Library, and Google Books confirm that no complete English translation of either the Latin or the original German text has ever been published. Existing English literature on Bock consists of scholarly analysis and excerpts in histories of botany, but not a full translation of the work.

About This Book
botanymedicineherbalism
Hieronymus Bock’s herbal is a raw, field-tested guide that replaces academic hearsay with the dirt-under-the-fingernails reality of German plants. It challenges the medical establishment to stop chasing exotic cures and start trusting the healing power of their own backyards.
