Translation<\/h1>\n

Of the beech tree,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The beech tree, as Isidore says, is an acorn-bearing tree, the fruit of it is sweet, but it is harmful to the chest. Truly it administers the clearest oil for lamps. The wood of it is sufficiently fully hard, but is penetrable by worms, unless almost continually steeped with smoke. It is however called \u201cbeech\u201d from \u201cconsuming\u201d: for \u201cfage\u201d in fact means \u201cto eat\u201d. This green wood is said to harden into stone when placed for long periods in water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Notes<\/h1>\n\n\n

Ysidorus<\/em>: Isidore of Seville. Wrote the Etymologies <\/em>which included sections upon various types of trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dicitur autem\u2026 comedere dicitur<\/em>: Isidore wrote that the Latin fagus<\/em> came from the Greek \u03c6\u03b1\u03b3\u03b5\u0129\u03bd<\/em>, meaning \u201cto eat,\u201d as the acorns born by the tree were consumed by the Romans. There is not a proven connection between the two words. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
