[D-Scribes List] 15th Century Lotus Eaters.

[Gerard Cheshire]

Hello Again,
You may be interested to know that the translation of the third Manuscript MS408 plant page has confirmed the taxonomic identity of the edible lotus plant. It seems that lotus-eating continued in the Mediterranean long after its mention in Greek mythology. A paper is freely available here: https://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/004864

Please disseminate the information widely, so that other scholars may benefit.
Kindest regards,
Dr. Gerard Cheshire.
