註釋Cabbage and kings traces the rich history of over 40 different types of fruits and vegetables. Accompanying this authoritative history is a wealth of illustrations, from ancient maps and Renaissance works of art to botanical illustrations and illuminated manuscripts, from ancient mosaics to contemporary graphics. It also contains Latin names of the fruits and vegetables, historical information on when the foot first appeared, its country of origin, first recorded use and even classical and Bliblical literary references, information about the medicinal and nutritional properties of the profiled fruits and vegetables, and how these properties were first discovered.
