A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

 
Piscator,-oris (s.m.III), abl. sg. piscatore, nom. & acc. pl. piscatores, gen.pl. piscatorum: a fisherman;

- Eadem Hypna apta sunt purgandis lumbricis in usum Pharmacopoeorum & Piscatorum, præsertim species 45.46.47. Alii usus, tempore innotescent (Dill.), these very same Hypna are suitable for expelling intestinal worms in the usage of the pharmacists and fishermen .... Other applications will become clear in time.

- [Hypnum cupressiforme vulgare, foliis obtusis. Tthe blunt Cypress-like Hypnum, [the common Hypnum cupressidorme, with leaves blunt]:

Nitidus & purus est Muscus, a terra & aliis sordibus liber, tener item & mollis, quam ob causam piscatores Lancastrienses eo utuntur ad purgandos vermes, hisque notus eft nomine Stags-Horn Moss, ut me certiorem fecit Guil. Harrison (Dill.), a moss glossy and pure [i.e. unmixed with other organisms], free from earth and other dirt, likewise delicate and soft, that’s why [i.e. for which reason] the fishermen of Lancaster use it for expelling worms, and it is known by these [sc. fishermen] by the name Stags-Horn Moss, as William Harrison has made me more certain.

 

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
