Who still hears Nicholas Culpeper's voice?
Nicholas Culpeper was the 17th-century rebel herbalist who dared to write a 'complete herbal' in plain English to empower the 'common people.
He also fought against the king in his free time... but let's stick to herbalism. His writings represent the primal source of the English language herbal tradition.
