Erbario lapidario

Herbals, both ancient and modern, transmit knowledge about nature's powers. Both plants and stones can heal, preserve, and kill, but sometimes their language is arcane, or ambiguous. Thus, herbals and lapidaries are often illustrated, as is this combined one, which has 53 full-color illustrations by Marco Vacchetti. Erbario lapidario is intended to bring comfort, pleasure, and enlightenment to those who peruse it.
