Famous in his own lifetime for his influential books, his magnum opus, the \u003ci\u003eTheatrum Botanicum, \u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1640 and ran to 1,766 large pages. The sheer scope and size was perhaps to prove the book's downfall, because while it was much revered--and plagiarized--it was never reprinted and, centuries later, has attained the status of an extremely rare and valuable book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eParkinson was writing at a time when Western herbalism was at its zenith, and his skills as a gardener (from his grounds in Covent Garden) combined perfectly with his passion for science, observation, and historical scholarship.
