PREFACE.
The warm approbation accorded to my reprint of Gerard's Catalogus issued
last year has encouraged me to bring out a facsimile reprint of a still earlier
work, the first publication in this country of a true Botanical cast. The pages
of the Libcllus have been reproduced by the Heliotype process, the faithful
character of which will be readilv seen on inspection ; even the creases in
the paper, and various marks both in pencil and in ink, together with the
Museum Stamp and Press-mark, are clearly shown. As this method depends
upon the ordinary processes of Photography in the first instance, the various
tints of the different portions of the work are to be accounted for by the
yellow colour in places of the original, due to i\s age.
Following the facsimile will be found the modern equivalents of Turner's
names, so far as I can judge, after making full use of contemporary literature.
The account of the author has been carefully drawn up from various
sources, and the copious references will enable any one to verify or fill out
my work at a tithe of the trouble it has cost to prepare it. Previous
biographies rarely give more than certain statements, without supplying the
sources of information.
The List of Authorities will sufficiently explain the various quarters from
which I have drawn my materials ; in addition to printed books, I have made
use of the Public Records, and the Lansdowne MSS. in the British Museum.
The titles of Turner's works are described from copies in the Bodleian, or the
Museum, as noted ; when copies are wanting in both these Libraries, I have
inserted the name between inverted commas, and given my authority. This
list will be found fuller than any previously published.
It would be easy to enlarge upon the antiquarian interest of this reprint,
but that will be admitted without demur. There is one little point to which
I must beg attention, and that is, in this small pamphlet we find the first
VIII.
recorded localities of our native plants. For instance, under Mercurialis,
we find a notice of a weed in the grounds of King's Hall, an institution
afterwards absorbed in Trinity College, Cambridge.
My thanks are due to many friends for assistance willingly rendered during
the preparation of this work. Amongst them I must specially name the officers
of the Printed Book and Botanical Departments of the British Museum, the
Rev. H. O. Coxe, M.A., Bodleian Librarian ; the Hon. and Rev. Francis
R. Grey, M.A., of Morpeth ; Sir Thomas Ersktne May, K.C.B. ; and Prof. C.
C. Babington, M.A., of Cambridge, for kind help in their several positions.

LIFE
OF
WILLIAM TURNER.
IN the following Memoir of the Father of English Botany, I shall not confine myself solely
to a consideration of his botanical work, but by exhibiting his many-sided character in its
varied relations, endeavour to convey a truer idea of the man, than any partial account could
do, which was taken from only one standpoint, either of Botanist or Reforming Divine.
William Turner was born at Morpeth," in Northumberland, early in the sixteenth century ; the
registers of that town commence in 1582, so that precise information is wanting, but we may
fairly assume that he first saw the light between 1510-15, judging from the dates of his college
life. He is believed to have been the son of a tanner, to whom, in 15 15, one William Bewick
conveyed " 22 roods of land lying in the Milnhaugh."2
Of his early education we know nothing, but his studies were continued at Pembroke Hall,
Cambridge, under the patronage of Thomas, Lord Wentworth.3 We find him B.A. in 1529-30, 4
Fellow of his College, 153 1;5 Junior Treasurer of his College, 1532; commenced M.A., 1533;'
obtained the College Title for Holy Orders, 20th March, 1536-37, 7 and was Senior Treasurer
in 153s.8 He held his Fellowship when he issued his earliest botanical production, here reproduced
in fac-simile, but for how long after we are unable to say; he may have retained it until his
marriage with Jane, daughter of George Ander, Alderman of Cambridge.'
Small as the little work here mentioned is, it must be borne in mind that Turner had no instructor
in his study beyond the classical writers. Witness his own words, written in 156S : — ■
" For I am able to proue by good witnesses that I haue aboue thyrtye yeares ago, written an
Herbal in Latin, wherein were conteyned the Greke, Latin, and Englishe of so many herbes
and trees as I could get anye knowledge of, euen being yet felow of Penbroke hall in
Cambridge, wher as I could learne neuer one Greke, nether Latin, nor English name, euen
amongest the Phisieions of anye herbe or tre, suche was the ignorance in simples at that
tyme, and as yet there was no Fnglishe Herbal but one, al full of vnlearned cacographees
and falselye naming of herbes, and as then had nether Fuchsius nether Matthiolus nether
Tragus written of herbes in Latin."10 Elstwhere he alludes to some of the writers to whom
he was indebted, " My maters of whome I learned first ye knowledge of herbes, who were
Antonius Musa, Fuchsius, and Ruellius.""
During his stay at Cambridge, he lived in close intimacy with Nicholas Ridley, afterwards
Bishop of London, to whom he owed his first instruction in Greek, and with whom he often
practised archery and tennis; Ridley also supplied Turner with sums to give in charity, when the
poverty of the latter would have prevented his alms-giving.'2 Hugh Latimer (Ridley's companion

at the stake) was also one of Turner's friends and instructors,'3 some of whom formed the little
company at Cambridge, which met to confer, and discuss the reformed doctrines at the White
Horse, nicknamed Germany.1* Here, embracing the tenets of the Reformers, he threw himself
heart and soul into the controversy, on behalf of the views for which he so steadfastly contended
all his life. He then travelled through a good part of England preaching,
"... whi!e he was a young man, . . . not only in towns and villages, but also in cities.
In his rambles he settled for a time in Oxon, among several of his countrymen that he found
there, purposely for the conversation of men and books, ... At the same time and after,
following his old trade of preaching without a call, he was imprison'd and kept in close durance
for a considerable time. At length, being let loose, and banished he travelled into Italy, . . ."'5
It has been suggested that this imprisonment resulted from a refusal to subscribe to the Statute
of the Six Articles,'6 and that he recanted to save his life.'7 For my own part I do not believe that
Turner would have done so ; he was made of sterner stuff, and his whole life and writings are a
standing contradiction to any such supposition.
Be this as it may, it is certain that Turner passed a considerable time in Italy, studying Botany
under Luca Ghini, at Bologna,'8 and Medicine in various places. He took the degree of Doctor
of Medicine either at Ferrara,'' or, possibly, at Bologna." Besides these two, he names these
places in Italy as visited by him, Cremona,5' Como," Milan,53 Venice,-4 Chiavenna.25 Retracing
his steps through Switzerland, he visited Conrad Gesner, at Zurich,36 and a warm friendship
thenceforward subsisted between the two.
He then took up his residence at Basel," in 1543, and the year following at Cologne.*5 From
these places he launched his small religious books, which were eagerly read by his countrymen,2'
so much so that in the last year of the reign of Henry VIII. his works were prohibited,3" as
disseminating doctrines repugnant to His Majesty's views. Whilst abroad he received a college
benevolence of 26s. 8d. in 1542, 3' and, in common with others, was assisted by money sent to
them by Ridley.32
He collected plants at the following places in Germany, Andernach,33 Bonn,34 Basel,3S Bingen,3*
Cologne,37 " Erenffelde,"33 and Siegburg.35
It was most likely after this that he travelled into Holland and East Friesland. which places we
find mentioned several times. Turner was physician to " the Erie of Emden,"40 and whilst so he
took the opportunity to explore several of the islands lying off the mainland. " I sayled to an
Hand, called Juste, . . . and after that I sayled to another Hand, called Nordeni."4' He visited
Aurich,42 Louvain/3 and Peter Coudenberg at Antwerp,44 and also sent " Gratiola " from Brabant
to " maister Riche and maister Morgan, Apotecaries of London."45 These names occur in Lobel's
works, and Gerard's Herball.

Turner's works were prohibited in 1547, by a proclamation of Henry VIII. / issued during the
last year of that despotic ruler. Shortly after the accession of Edward VI., the subject of our
notice came home, perhaps, in his homeward journey, passing- by Dunkerque" or Calais.'8 He
finished a Herbal in Latin by 1546, but deferred the issue of it, by advice, until he had travel!, d
in the western parts of England.4' His second botanical work was published in 154S, "The names
of herbes," etc., whilst he was waiting for preferment in the church; in the meantime acting as
physician to the Protector,5" Earl of Somerset, whose gardens he mentions,5' and also his own
garden at Kew." Whilst here he conversed in Latin with the Princess Elizabeth.53 From a passage
in his Spiritual Physik it has been thought that he sat in the House of Commons during this
reign, which view is partially sustained by the character of the Hunter in Turner's Romysh Vuolfe,5*
who has been a member of the Lower House for five years, this personage seeming to represent
the author himself. It is probable that both passages refer to the Lower House of Convocation, for
in 1553 Dr. Nowel, returned for Looe, was ejected from the Commons on the ground of his having
a seat in Convocation as Prebendary of Westminster.55
He wrote, in September [1548 ?] , to Cecil, "In medijs meis cruciatibus & humanaomniconsolatione
destitutum," thanking him for his promised preferment, but hoped that it would be distant from
the court.56 At a later date he says :
" Master Cicell i thank vow for your paynes tayken about ye obteyning of my lycence, which
if I had sealed, I wold shortly occupi in york shyre, for y" archbishop of york hathe writte
unto me to cu to hym w' all ye spede y' may be, whiche thynge i wold gladly do, if i had theyr
to my lordis gracis cosent, who as (i heard you say) intended y* i shuld go to Winchester, to
be occupied theyre. If y' i might haue a lyvying for me and myne there i wold gladly do as
my lordis grace requireth, but y* an other man shuld haue ye de-ry & do nothy-g, & i sh-ld
be bound to be a workma sola spe vC-tura, nescio q-iido, praebeda, alCdus, ye loue yl i bear unto
my wyfe & childer will not suffer me. My chylder haue bene fed so long w' hope that they
ar uery leane, i wold fayne haue the fatter, if it were possible. I pray yow know of my lordis
grace what is hys gracis pleasure in thys mater i ca not dwell here all thys next cumy[n]g

The Prebend of Botevant, in York, referred to in this letter, was given to Turner, 12th Feb.,
1S49-30, and he held it for little more than two years.56 "On 3rd July, 1550, the Privy Council sent
letters for his election as Provost of Oriel College, Oxford, but that headship appears to have been
filled up by the election of Joseph Smyth, B.D., 17th June preceding, being the very day on which
his predecessor. William Haynes, resigned. On 27th September following, Dr. Turner wrote a

letter to Sir William Cecil, praying- that he might be appointed President of Magdalen College,59
Oxford, but on the last day of that month Dr. Walter Haddon was elected President in that College
in compliance with letters from the Court. Dr. Turner also applied for an archdeaconry which he
did not obtain."40
He became despondent at not getting' the preferment he desired, as the following- letter to
Cecil will show : —
"... when christes churche nedeth me it will lawfully call me w' out any of my
laborying". In the mean tyme if y' I had my helth i were able to get my lyvying w' my
service not only in England, but also in holland, brabant, and in many places of germany,
although sum thynk it wold not be in england as yet, till i were better knowen. Wherefore
if my foolishe importunite, hath not vtterly quenched out all ye favor that ye haue sumtyme
borne towarde me, i pray you heartily seying that i can not haue my helth here in england, &
am euery day more and more uexed w' the stone, help me to abteyne me lycence of the Kyngis

my great herball & my bookes of fishes stones & metalles, if good sende me lyfe
and helthe.
" your friende to hys pour Wilyam turner."6'
Very shortly after this letter was written, John Goodman was deprived of the Deanery of
Wells, after two years' residence, and Turner was thereto appointed.61' He experienced much
opposition and difficulty in getting possession of the deanery house, as the following extracts
testify : —
" . . . I am dene here in wellt's but i can nether get house nor one foot of land : . . .
where i shuld haue a dosen closes and medowes for my horses i can not get one ; for
Goodman whiche was of late dene here, the craftiest fox y' euer went vpon ij fete, let off vnto
hys cosin Fullwell all ye hole sub-chantorship in one lease : . . . As for these thynges
i care not so mych for, as i do for the howse. Wherefore i pray you if it be possible y1 i may
haue y' counsellis letters y' i may ether haue yc olde denes howse or sum other, y1 i may stride
in and haue su place to lay my bookes in. As for ye dispensatio i set not so mych by it, as 1
do by a resting' place for me and my pore chylder."6'
There is another letter extant, about the same date as the above, in the Public Record Office, but
it does not throw additional light upon the matter.64
Later on he complains of being
"... pened up in a chamber of my lorde of bathes w' all my ho[ouse]holde seruantes
and Children as shepe in a pyndfolde. . . . i can not go to my booke for ye crying of

Besides the Prebend and Deanery, it is asserted in most accounts of Turner that he held a Canonry
of Windsor. This is a mistake arising- from the fact of Richard Turner, the actual occupant, being
like the subject of our notice, an ardent Protestant, and also exiled during the reign of Mary.
About this time he was incorporated M.D. at Oxford, but the records being defective about that
period, we cannot discover the exact date.64 The first portion of his Herbal was brought out in
i 55 i, and I quote a portion of his preface: —
" . . . There haue bene in England, and there are now also certain learned men : whych
haue as much knowledge in herbes, yea, and more then diuerse Italianes and Germanes, whyche
haue set furth in prynte Herballes and bokes of simples. I mean of Doctor Clement, Doctor
Wendy, and Doctor Owen, Doctor Wotton, & Maister Falconer. Yet hath none of al these,
set furth any thyng, ether to the generall profit of hole Christendome in latin, & to the honor of
thys rtalme, nether in Englyshe to the proper profit of their naturall countre, . . . And so
is there noman, that hath bene hyther to so good vnto hys countre as to aduenture or take the
paynes to set out any herball. I therfore darker in name, and farr vnder these men in know-
ledge, for the loue that I beare vnto my countre, and at the commandemOt of your grace my
lord and maister, I haue set one part of a great herball more boldly then wysely and with
more ieopardy of my name then with profite to my purse, as I knowe by dyuerse other bokes.
whych I haue set out before this time, both in English and in Latin. I haue in this boke taught
the latine name, the greke, the englysh name, y° duche, and the frenche name, most commuly

He had been at Purbeck in July of that year; from his mentioning' many of the plants he found
in that locality. Dr. Pulteney67 has drawn the somewhat slenderly supported conclusion that he had
relatives in that neighbourhood.
Whilst he was acting as chaplain to the Lord Protector, " it happened that in a lecture of his
delivered at Thistleworth [Isleworth] near to London, he did therein inveigh much against the
poyson of Pelagius, which had then infected the people very much in all parts of the nation. This
lecture of his being answered in print by one who was his auditor, he straightway came out with a
reply entit. A Preservative, or Triacle against the poyson of Pelagius, . . ."M It is stated that
this. auditor was Robert Cooch, or Cook, Serjeant of the Winecellar to Edward VI., and alterwards
one of the Gentlemen of Queen Elizabeth's Chapel.69 Turner was not ordained priest until December
2 i st, 1552, when his old friend Ridley, Bishop of London, officiated.70 Six months later, the young'
King died, and Mary succeeded to the throne; the violent persecutions which then ensued caused
many of the most prominent of the reforming party to quit the country or remain to encounter
almost certain death. Amongst these fugitives was Turner," and he remained abroad during the
whole of Mary's reign, whilst the deprived John Goodman was reinstated in the Deanery of Wells.
Turner again took up his abode in Germany, visiting, possibly not for the first time, these places
amongst others ; Bonn/' Chur," Frankfort,74 Freiburg,15 " Lauterburg " [? Lauenburg],7* Mantz,77
Rodekirche,73 " Sourland " [? Straeland],7' Strasburg,8" " Soundes,"8' Speyer,83 Worms,83 Weissen-
burg,84 "werdone" [? Werden].85 At Weissenberg' he remained some time, and from it, in 1557.
he dated his letter to Gesner, noticed in the list of Turner's works. He afterwards removed to
Cologne, where, either then or previously, he had a garden,84 as he formerly had at Wells,87 and
!rom this place, in 1562. he issued the second part of his Herbal.
His works, for the second time, were prohibited by Philip and Mary, June 13th, 1555, and the
Wardens of every Company were ordered to give full information of any copies known by them to be
existing, in order to be destroyed.83 The rarity of Turner's little treatises need not be wondered at,
seeing that thus they twice came under the ban of the reigning powers.
He returned to England at the accession of Elizabeth in 1 55 S, preached at St. Paul's to a very
large congregation, September 10th, 1559, ^ and was reinstated in his Deanery on 20th January,
1 5 59-60, ?i the Queen by two grants confirming to Turner the Prebend and Rectory of Wedmore,
which had been restored to the Deanery by Mary." There also appertained to this post, " the
Manor of Winsham, with the Rectory thereof; the Rectory of Chard; the Manor of Comb St.
Nicholas, with the Rectory of the same; the Rectory of Wellington and Buckland; . . . There
belongs also to the Deanery, the Rectory of Wedmore, by virtue of the Queen's patent, bearing-
date the Mh of May, 5th Elizabeth, 1563, granted to William Turner, then Dean."" In this year
the net revenue accruing to the holder of the Deanery amounted to £15 1 6s. Sd.93

reinstate him, and endeavoured by underhand means to overthrow Turner. The Queen, therefore,
ordered " the Lord Keeper, by her letters, to call both parties before him, and to direct a
commission in her name, as he was accustomed to do upon appeals, to such indifferent persons as
he should think fit, or as they both should accord upon : and in the mean season to take order, that
Dr. Turner might remain in quiet possession : and so he did to his death ; . . ."*'
He was absent from the Lower House of Convocation in February, 1562-3, and therefore did not
vote on certain articles relative to the mode of Divine service.95 His intense dislike to sacerdotal
garments may be learned from the letter which follows, and from the tales related of him, that he
trained a dog to snatch the square cap from a bishop's head,94 and caused a convicted adulterer to
do his open penance in a priest's cap.97
" it may please yo' honor to be advertised, that I am much encombred wth mr Doctor Titrntr
Deane of Welles, for his vndiscrete behavior in the pulpitt : where he medleth wth all matters,
and vnsemelie speaketh of all estates, more then ys standinge withe discressyon : I haue

"Gilb Bathe & Welles."'8
The writer, Gilbert Berkeley, was consecrated 24th January, 1559-60.99
In March, 1564, Turner was suspended for nonconformity, with thirty of the clergy, who resolutely
declined to adopt the prescribed garments."" Being thus precluded from clerical duties, he seems to
have left Wells and taken up his abode in London. The second part of his Herbal had been printed
at Cologne, in 1562 ; he now completed that work, in spite of increasing debility. The last letter of
his extant, being addressed to his staunch patron, Lord Burleigh, the body of the letter is written
by an amanuensis, confirmatory of the weakness to which the subject of our notice had been reduced.
"... may it please your honor to be advertised, that whereas by your helpe and
mr Doctor Gordonnis, I obteyned a dispensation & licence, and also autoritie of the queens
maiestie by letters patentes to receyve my hole diuidentes and cotidianes of the Church Welles,
being absent here for my helthes sake ; " (he goes on to say that the resident has twice refusi d
to pay the revenue to Turner, but has come to London to petition that the grant to Turner
be annulled, as a plurality. The latter begs that no countenance be shown to his suit.)

We trust that his plea was granted, and that he was suffered, without any further hindrance, to

The indomitable character of the man may be seen in his works, both controversial and practical;
his merits as the first botanical author in this country are remarkable, and well merit the praise
passed on him by John Ray, " vir solidte eruditionis & judicii; """ the wide difference between even
the slightest productions of Turner, when compared with such effusions as the Grete Herbal, is
visible at first glance.
His will is too characteristic to be omitted here, and runs thus :
" In the name of almightye grid amen, in the yeare from the birthe of our savyour Jhesus
christ a thousande fyve hundred threescore and sixe, I William Turner calling to remembrance

This will was proved 15th July, 1568, the executors' names being Jane, the widow, and the children
Winifred, Peter, and Elizabeth Turner.
The son, Peter, had some knowledge of plants, for in a copy of the Herbal, in the Linnean
Society's Library, there is a long list of errata, apologised for, by the printer not being familiar
with English, as will be seen by the address to the reader.
" Errata.
'• Faultes escaped in the printing." 4 pages.
" Peter Turner to the Reader.
" As the wyse philosopher Seneca, counteth him to slay or kill, that may well saue and
will not : so may I rightly iudge after the same fashion, that he is a great hindrer and hurter
that may profite a man and will not. Seeing then that this my fathers Herball, which he
after his long trauell, study and experience hath made, is now set forth to profit and pleasure
his countriemen withall : and by the ouersight partly of the Printer, and partly of the Scribe
that copied the booke out for the Printer, is now so commed forth that the Reader can not
get any profite or commoditie thereof : least that I for the cause aboue rehersed bee counted
a hinderer of the profite of my Countriemen, and not to set by my Fathers fame and
estimation (for I am sure, many that know not that afore his death he went about to correct
this booke, will blame him for letting so falsly a printed booke to come forthj I haue taken
some paynes, and haue pervsed and red ouer this booke as my Father beganne, and haue
conferred it with his owne hande copie, and haue so corrected it and amended it, that a
diligent and a welwilling reader may easily vnderstand the meaning of the writer, and
so take great profit of the same. But peraduenture some will saye, if I had minded to
pleasure my Countriemen, I might haue done better if I had called in or stayed this print, and
caused the booke to haue bene printed here anew again. In dede if I had done so, I shouldc
haue eased the reader of this labour of correcting. But I should haue done against
Charitie to haue caused the Printer by that meanes to lose all his labor and cost which he
hath bestowed in printing hereof. Wherefore gentle Reader beare a little with the Printer
that neuer was much accustomed to the printing of Englishe, and afore thou reade ouer this
booke, correct it as I haue appointed and then the profite thereof will abundantly recompense
thy paynes. And last of all, take these my paynes also in good worth at this time. Another
daye when the Herball shall be printed againe (and if it please God to lend me lyfe and
health, augmented and increased) I trust the reader shalbe put to no such paines in correcting
of the same, as in no other of my fathers bookes as yet vnprinted which hereafter as time and
occasion shall serue, I entende to set forth. In the meane time vse this Herball in stede of a
better, and giue all laude and prayse vnto the Lorde."
Peter, the grandson, was Gresham Professor of Geometry.105
Turner's widow subsequently married Richard Cox, at a later period, Bishop of Ely, and founded
a Scholarship at Cambridge in memory of her first husband.'06
I have already mentioned the mistakes made, owing to the similarity of name between Richard
Turner and William Turner ; I need now only quote two erroneous statements to guard against
their being credited. Cuvier, after most favourable notice of Turner's observations on fishes, goes on
to say . . " il mourut a Cologne, en 156S."'07 Fuller believed that he died in Germany during
Mary's reign.108 The uncertainty as to some of the titles of the smaller productions will be
understood by inspection of the list of 'Turner's works, which is as complete as I have been able
to render it.

" There were many other editions of this work, and a translation into English, printed abroad
in Queen Mary's time by one Dr. Turner, with a most vindictive preface before it; as also
some additions, with intent to expose the Bishops inconstancy, who had now submitted again
to the Pope."
Biog. Brit. iii. 2124.
The translation here mentioned bears the following title: —
De vera obedientia. An oration made in Latine, by the right ReuerCde father in God Stepha
bishop of Winchestre, now Lorde chancelour of Englande. .
Printed at Haburgh in Latine. . . . 1536.

Translated out the almaine speche into English by limn Hollybush.

Brit. Mus.
This is a translation of Brunschweig's Thesaurus Pauperum. Hausapoteck .
Franckfurt, 1537, and is frequently found bound up with Turner's Herbal, pt. ii.
It has been suggested that Turner here assumed another alias, so as to secure
readers for his work by evading the embargo placed upon his writings. There was,
however, an actual John Hollybush, who was charged by < loverdale with the task of
seeing the Latin and English Testament through the Press, during Coverdale's
absence abroad ; he was also the translator of at least two doctrinal treatises.
Cf. Brook's Puritans, i., 120; Ames, iii., 1449; Foxe, ed. Towns., viii., 786.
