The names of herbaceous plants belong to the oldest layer of vocabulary in Slavic languages, so many studies have been conducted so far. In addition to the official and scientific nomenclature, there is also a rich folk terminology regarding herbaceous plants. The subject of consideration are just such names, rooted in the language and created by the Bulgarian language users themselves, and especially the part of them which somehow refers to the broadly understood world of animals. The analysis will be limited to the names of herbaceous plants found in Bulgaria. This limitation is dictated by the certainty that we are dealing with a native name, not a borrowing from another language, and the role of these plants in the folk culture. From this point of view both the construction and the word formation motivation are considered.

In 1894, Pier Desiderio Pasolini published notes on the beauty of women written by Catherine Sforza. Unfortunately the original text written by Catherine disappeared in unknown circumstances but in 1522 Lucantonio Cuppano had seen the original and made one copy which was later consulted and published by Pasolini who gave it the tittle Experimenti de la Excelentissima Signora Caterina da Furlji. This writing - next to the work of Metrodora and Trotula of Salerno - is one of the oldest texts written by women, which is preserved for our time. This work shows that Catherine must have received an excellent education as she was interested in medicine, alchemy and property of herbs and minerals. The lecture on her recipes shows that she prepared her cosmetics for herself but she also sent them to others. Her recipes show her knowledge of the property of many herbs and minerals. Probably she thought about publishing her notes as we can find there some easy formulas (for beginners) where it was necessary only to add and mix the products. But there are also more complicated instructions where it was necessary to know, for example the process of distillation etc. Her writings show how in the 15th century women in Italy cared about their beauty and which herbs and minerals to use to make their cosmetics.

Drawing from the analogous “herstory”, the article uses the term ‘herbstory” to read Simona Kossak’s book of herbs Opowiadania o ziołach i zwierzętach. Zgodnie z naturą swojego gatunku. The nature narratives are analyzed as examples of “rescue history” and environmental writing.

The article presents selected ways and means used by people to treat and alleviate illnesses and ailments in the 19th century. Plant and animal products used by the inhabitants of the Wiłkomir Province, Łuck Land, Wolyn Land, and the Wallachian Region were presented on the basis of information contained in the Stosław Łaguna’s manuscript from the 19th century. The treatment of adults and children was usually carried out by quacks, rural women. Their measures have not always had a positive impact. Most often wounds, cuts, skin diseases, sore throats, scalp, stomach, and teeth were treated. They were helped during fever, jaundice, tuberculosis or convulsions. The experiences of subsequent generations have verified the methods and means of treatment, and many of them are still being used.

W artykule ukazano wybrane sposoby i środki stosowane przez ludzi w celu leczenia i łagodzenia chorób i dolegliwości w XIX w. Środki pochodzenia roślinnego i zwierzęcego, z których korzystali mieszkańcy guberni Wiłkomirskiej, Ziemi Łuckiej i Wołyńskiej, jak również Wołoszczyzny, przedstawiono w oparciu o informacje zawarte w rękopisie Stosława Łaguny z XIX w. Leczeniem dorosłych i dzieci zajmowali się zazwyczaj znachorzy, baby wiejskie. Stosowane przez nich środki nie zawsze dawały pozytywne skutki. Najczęściej leczono rany, skaleczenia, choroby skóry, ból gardła, głowy, żołądka, zębów. Pomagano podczas febry, żółtaczki, suchot czy konwulsji. Doświadczenia kolejnych pokoleń weryfikowały metody i środki leczenia, z wielu z nich nadal się korzysta.

For Galen, the best physician was the one who was able to treat his patients by means other than the knife, particularly through diet and drugs. The fact that basic knowledge of pharmacology was not required came under severe criticism in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. To remedy this situation, herb gardens were established at universities. Some physicians wrote voluminous new herbals based both on the close study of classical pharmacological works, observations and experiments. William Turner (1508–1568), Henry Lyte (1529–1607), John Gerard (1545–1650) and John Parkinson (1567–1650) were the essential figures who established English herbal tradition. This phenomenon was not entirely alien to Shakespeare. The study of tragedies, as presented in this paper, is sufficient to realise how numerous references to both healing and poisonous plants are made in Shakespearean plays.

Tradycja leczenia ziołami, oraz wykorzystywania ich w zabiegach z pogranicza rytuałów magicznych, przetrwała zwłaszcza w środowiskach wiejskich. Niejednokrotnie mówi o nich również Wiesław Myśliwski, który akcje swoich powieści – jakże często ‑ osadza poza miastem, a bohaterów wyposaża w wiedzę i cechy świadczące o umiejętności posługiwania się ziołami. Celem referatu jest językowa analiza omawianych elementów fitosfery i ich wykorzystania w codziennym życiu kreowanych postaci.

The tradition of treating with the herbs, and the their usage in the procedures in the field of the magical rituals, lasted especially in the village societies. Repeatedly, they are mentioned by Wieslaw Mysliwski, who, frequently, sets the action of his novel outside the cities, and his protagonists appear to have the knowlegde and qualities indicating the abilities to use the herbs. The goal of the paper is the linguistic analysis of the discussed elements of the phytosphere and their usage in the characters’ everyday life.
