Florum et coronariarum historia
First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
Rembert Dodoens' 'Florum et coronariarum historia' (1568) is a specialized botanical work on flowers. While its content was heavily incorporated into his larger, more famous 'Cruydeboeck' (1554), which was translated into English by Henry Lyte as 'A Niewe Herball' (1578), the 'Florum et coronariarum historia' itself has never been published as a standalone complete English translation. The 'Niewe Herball' is a translation of the 'Cruydeboeck', not a translation of this specific 1568 monograph. Therefore, no complete English translation of this specific work exists.
