[Air-L] Rare Plant Identified Using Internet Research.

[Gerard Cheshire]

Dear Scholars,
The translation of a Medieval manuscript page has revealed the record of a rare Mediterranean plant, from c. 1444. The plant is Atropa baetica, which is now endangered and included on the IUCN Red List. You may freely download a paper giving the translation and additional information: https://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/004797

It should be of interest to anyone studying Mediterranean botany, as well as Early Modern linguistics, so please disseminate the link as you like. It is useful case study in Internet Research.
Kindest regards,

Dr. Gerard Cheshire.
