Many of the woodblock engravings were taken from the German \u2018Herbarius\u2019 (1485), itself derived from earlier herbals, repeating many of their errors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This, from a great collection in the Science and Society Picture Library: and this, too:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,20],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":264,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244\/revisions\/264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
