Notes
First published about 1486-1488 under title: Arbolayre
The text of the Le grand herbier contains 474 chapters, of which 264 were taken from an earlier work, the Circa instans, which is attributed to Matthaeus Platearius of the School of Salerno.--cf. Anderson, F.H. An illustrated history of the herbals, 1977

Pierre Sergent active from 1532-1547 according to P. Renouard. Imprimeurs parisiens, p. 341; date of ca. 1535 inferred from publication date of ed. printed in Paris by Denis Janot which closely ressembles the title and collation of this ed.--cf. Hunt botanical cat., 35
