Theoria

I have the following two references from a text written in 1609 -

• Fern. Meth. “Id malva peculiare est, ut imposita istibusvesparum & apum dolores levet. Fern. Meth. 1.6.cap.4. Stercus vaccinum vesparum itus sanat, & indite aceto tumores digerit. Fern. Meth. 1.5.cap.27.” The next line cites Dodoens’s Stirpum historae pemptabes sex (1587), so, presumably, Fern. Meth. refers to another herbalist book.
• Fer. Ph. “Cerebrum commune sentiendis principium. Fer. Ph.l.5.c.14.” This appears directly before a citation from Pliny’s Natural History – he’s talking about sense-perception in bees.

They are not otherwise cited in the text and no name is associated with them. I can only assume that although the text in question was written in English that the references are in Latin.
