First Sentence
THE religious and magical writings of the great nations of antiquity, that is to say, the Chinese and the Indians, the Sumerians and Babylonians, the Persians and Assyrians (or, as we may now call them, the Akkadians), and the Egyptians sod Nubians, contain abundant evidence that these primitive peoples believed that the first beings who possessed a knowledge of plants and their healing properties were the gods themselves. Read the first page

3.0 out of 5 stars Unique, but light on information, 7 Jun 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This short book (91 pages) was first published in 1924, and was republished in 1971; it is this second edition that I read. The book is an attempt to get past the magic, and look at what the ancients actually knew about medicine. It discusses the different cultures' (Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, Syriac and Arabic) idea of the herbalist, how they organized their knowledge of herbs, and what they knew.

As might be expected from a book originally written in 1924, this book did not have a lot of information upon which draw any conclusions. As such, though it is a good-faith effort, it simply doesn't have much to say. That said, though, it does contain some information that I have not encountered in my other readings; it is a unique work, but it really doesn't have much to say. I would give this book a very qualified recommendation.
