The utilitarian account of plants (in pharmacological or medical terms) does not enter the picture; rather, in Syriac literature the scientiic examination of plants occurs first within the context of the place of plants in the hierarchy of the living beings as it appears in the exegeses of the Hexaemeron, especially that of Basilius of Caesarea’s Homilies, as relected by Jacob of Edessa. Even though Theophrastus’ On Plants was not translated into Syriac, the translation od of Nicolas of Damascus’ De Plantis made the learned Syriac readership acquainted with the Aristotelian – and Theophrastean – model in a much more complete form. This is especially apparent in Barhebraeus, who combined it with extracts from Avicenna. Hugonnard-Roche, Henri. “E Dio Disse: ‘La Terra Produca Germogli’ (Gen. 1, 11).
