In this class, we will examine a variety of Renaissance herbals and other medicinal works, all providing insights into the imaginary world of herbology at Hogwarts. You will look at some of the oldest books in the Lenhardt Library's Rare Book Collection in order to understand the Renaissance underpinnings of Harry Potter.
