Abstract


Following the task undertaken in our last study on the use of botanical terms in the works of Albertus Magnus, the present one is devoted 10 re-examine in the same way the botanical theories of Jean Ruel, or Ruellius (1474-1537). Ruellius has been neglected and misjudged - with a bit of superficiality, maybe as a result of an insufficient knowledge of his work- by later historical and scientific criticism, but he stands as the first author of an original (even with a hint of an empiric approach, as we shall see) treatise of Renaissance's Botany.
