Note 62 — Chapter III · TURNER’S HERBAL AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE FOREIGN HERBALISTS
Reading edition
Gesner had a high opinion of Turner, of whom he wrote:—
“Ante annos 15, aut circiter cum Anglicus ex Italia rediens me salutaret (Turnerus) is fuerit vir excellentis tum in re medica tum aliis plerisque disciplinis doctrinae aut alius quisquam vix satis memini.”—De Herbis Lunariis, 1555.
