This three-volume work, published in 1864-6, was edited by Thomas
Oswald Cockayne (1807-73), a Cambridge graduate, much-published
early member of the London Philological Society, and teacher of the
philologists Walter Skeat and Henry Sweet. It is a collection of
writings from pre-Conquest Britain on plants, medicine and the
heavens, mostly in Old English with accompanying modern English
translations. The preface of Volume 2 outlines evidence for early
medieval British material culture, particularly foodstuffs, drink,
fabrics and metals, and argues against dismissing the Anglo-Saxons
and their contemporaries as 'primitive'. The Old English text in
this volume is taken from a tenth-century manuscript in the Royal
Collection, which Cockayne suggests may have belonged to the Abbot
of Glastonbury. It is a careful and thorough compilation of
remedies for conditions ranging from toothache to complications of
pregnancy, and digestive problems to mental illness, and reveals
the influence of Greek medical learning in the Anglo-Saxon world.

writings from pre-Conquest Britain on plants, medicine and the
heavens, mostly in Old English with accompanying modern English
translations. The preface of Volume 3 discusses questions including
the identity of the Anglo-Saxon translator of Bede's De Temporibus
and the similarities between Classical and medieval
dream-interpretation and divination, and the Victorian penchant for
spiritualism and astrology. The texts in this volume include
remedies, charms and prayers for the sick, in Latin and Old
English, lists of plant names, works on solar and lunar calendars
and horoscopes, and explanations of the prophetic meaning of
dreams. The volume ends with some historical fragments in Old
English relating to monastic foundations.

heavens, mostly in Old English with accompanying modern English
translations. Volume 1 begins with a substantial preface outlining
the Anglo-Saxon reception of Greek and Latin medical texts. The
main work in this volume is an Old English version of the late
Latin Herbarium formerly attributed to Apuleius, augmented by
material deriving from Dioscorides' De Materia Medica. The volume
concludes with an Old English translation of the fourth-century
Roman physician Sextus Placitus' writings on animal-derived
medicines, and some short medicinal recipes in Old English and
Latin taken from the fly leaves of manuscripts.
