[PAR] [TLE] John Gerard [SEP] John Gerard, also spelt John Gerarde, (c. 1545–1612) was a botanist and herbalist.  He maintained a large herbal garden in London.  His chief notability is as the author of a large (1,484 pages) illustrated "Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes".  First published in 1597, it was the most widely circulated botany book in English in the 17th century.  Except for the additions of a number of plants from his own garden and from North America, Gerard's "Herbal" is largely an unacknowledged English translation of Rembert Dodoens's herbal originally published in 1554, itself also highly popular (in Dutch, Latin, French and other English translations). [PAR] [TLE] Jacobus Theodorus Tabernaemontanus [SEP] Jacobus Theodorus (Jakob Dietrich), called Tabernaemontanus (1525 – August 1590) was a physician and an early botanist and herbalist, the "father of "German botany" whose illustrated "Neuwe Kreuterbuch" (1588) or "Eicones Plantarum" (Frankfurt, 1590) was the result of a lifetime's botanizing and medical practice.  It provided unacknowledged material for John Gerard's better-known "Herball" (London, 1597) and was reprinted in Germany throughout the 17th century.  His Latinized name represented a translation of his native town, Bergzabern (literally ‘mountain taverne’) in the Palatinate.  Tabernaemontanus began as a student of the pioneer of Renaissance botany, Hieronymus Bock.
