A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

Taberna,-ae (s.f.I): “hut, shed, booth, stall, shop (constructed of boards); any slight structure used for a dwelling, a hut or cottage; (of a merchant, mechanic, taverner, etc.) a booth, shop, workshop, stall, inn, tavern;” cf. tabula, tenus (Lewis & Short);

Fabrica,-ae (s.f.I): the workshop of an artisan who works in hard materials (syn.: taberna, officina) (Lewis & Short).

-taberna libraria, a bookseller’s shop.

NOTE: the taberna suggests more a shop where wares or goods are sold whereas an officina, like the fabrica, is more like a workshop. The goods manufactured in the officina may also be sold there.

NOTE: Tabern. abbr. = Tabernaemontanus, Jacobus Theodorus, the “father of German botany” = Jakob Theodor von Bergzabern, physician (1525-1590). Bergzabern = Tabernae Montanus, “tavern(s) in the mountains” [Wikipedia “Tabernaemontana” Nov. 2020].

Tabernaemontana,-ae (s.f.I), genus name (Apocynaceae) adopted by Linnaeus (1753).
