Latin Texts & Translations

The common ^[Note] thorn too, with which the fulling coppers are filled, is employed for the same purposes as the radicula. ^[Note] In the provinces of Spain it is commonly employed as an ingredient in perfumes and unguents, under the name of "aspalathos." There is no doubt, however, that there is also a wild thorn of the same name in the East, as already mentioned, ^[Note] of a white colour, and the size of an ordinary tree.
