Description: From Earth to Art presents papers from the 'Early Medieval Plant Studies' symposium, a meeting designed to explore the various disciplines which could help to elucidate the plant-names of Anglo-Saxon England, many of which are not understood. The range of disciplines represented includes landscape history, place-name studies, botany, archaeology, art history, Old English literature, the history of food and of medicine, and linguistic approaches such as semantics and morphology.
Notes: "This book presents most of the papers from 'Early Medieval Plant Studies', the First Symposium of the Anglo-Saxon Plant-Name Survey (ASPNS), held in the University of Glasgow, 5th to 7th April, 2000"--Pref.
