Formerly STC 856. - Henrey, B. Brit. botanical lit., I, no. 184. - Identified as STC 856 on UMI microfilm. - Imperfect; lacking leaves throughout, including title page. - One of several versions of an anonymous herbal probably of medieval origin. Askham's name on the title page refers to the almanac, and he may have had nothing to do with the editing of this edition. - Reproduction of the original in the Wellcome Institute of the History of Medicine. - STC (2nd ed.), 13175.13. - The additions mentioned on the title page were presumably to be a reissue of STC 857a.5.--STC
