Figs, Dates, Laurel and Myrrh

by John Bede Harrison
This book celebrates the plants of the Old and New Testament, including the Apocrypha and the Ouaran. From acacia, (the wood of the tabernacle) to worm-wood (whose bitter leaves cured intestinal worms) 81 fascinating chapters cover every plant that has a true botanical counterpart and tell the stories of the fruits and grains, grasses and trees, flowers and fragrances of ancient lore. The descriptions include the plants' botanical characteritics, habitat, uses and literary context. With evocative quotations and revelatory interpretations, this information is all the more critical today as the traditional agrarian societies that intimately knew the plants become urbanized. 336 pages.
