Book Use, Book Value: the Paradoxes of Renaissance Herbals

Lecture/Readings

Renaissance herbals- sixteenth and seventeenth century printed guides to plants, herbs, and trees, sometimes beautifully illustrated- may be the most popular early modern book you've never heard of. This talk will explore how the Renaissance herbals in USU's Special Collections, and other best-sellers in their time, are often least likely to survive, making them paradoxically obscure by virtue of their ordinariness.
