Note 3 — Chapter I · EARLY HISTORY.
Reading edition
“Simplicium Medicamentorum ex novo orbe delectorum quorum in Medicina usus est Historia.” liber iii. Antwerp, 1582 (translated from the Latin edition of Carolus Clusius). I have been unable to refer to the original “History of Aromatics” by Cieza, and corroborate the statements here made in regard to mastiche, tobacco, and oyster shells.
