Morphology, Albertus Magnus, History of BotanyAbstract
Since T. A. Sprague wrote his outstanding essays many years ago on the meaning of botanical terms used by Plinius, Isidorus, Albertus and Ruellius, no one else had resumed this task, which is essential for the history of botany. Though Albertus explained vegetal structure in terms of the function it fulfils, the methodology used here ignores Physiology and concentrates on Morphology. After discussing the composition of De Vegetabilibus, we deal with organs using the order and division established by Albertus: succus, nodus, radix. venae, stipes, ramus, cortex, flos, folium, fructus, and so on.
