In 2009 Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil, became the first Canadian tourist in space. GAIA, his exhibition of photographs taken from the ISS, is currently on display at the Distillery in Toronto (right outside my office) and the images are stunning.

Fol. 161r.
English translations of plant names (mugwed, wortsmere, red clover, weybrod, serfoyle, and egermonye) are written beside the Latin text.
This precious manuscript of 190 parchment leaves, written mainly in a steady Caroline minuscule, originated in England, perhaps in Hereford. Additions in later hands show that the volume remained in English libraries for at least five centuries. The original composition can be dated to around 1145. The manuscript consists of more than forty widely varying texts. They cover the spectrum of medical learning as it was defined in the Middle Ages and illustrate a pivotal moment in the history of medicine.
