As a primary historical text it sits at this atlas's top tier for documenting what Culpeper's own system actually assigned. It is cited in this atlas only for the fact of a plant's planetary classification as Culpeper stated it. No medical or therapeutic claim is drawn from this source anywhere in this atlas, and a reader should not take a planetary assignment here as any kind of health guidance, historical or otherwise.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (480 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Nicholas Culpeper's 1652 herbal, the foundational primary text of English astrological herbalism assigning each plant to a ruling planet, cited here only for that classification and never for any medical claim.NotesWell-attestedThe foundational English astrological herbal; each plant is assigned to its ruling planet.
