His classification of plants in his Historia Plantarum, was an important step towards modern taxonomy.

His student Theophrastus ( Greece, 370-285 BC ) carried on this tradition, and wrote a classification of 480 plants called Historia Plantarum.

287 BC ) wrote a parallel work on plants ( Historia Plantarum ( The History of Plants )).

In 1578 the manuscript, entitled Nova Plantarum, Animalium et Mineralium Mexicanorum Historia, was sent back to the Escorial in Madrid ; they were not translated into Latin by Francisco Ximenes until 1615.

Botanical historian Alan Morton notes that Theophrastus in his Enquiry into Plants " had an inkling of the limits of culturally induced ( phenotypic ) changes and of the importance of genetic constitution " ( Historia Plantarum III, 2, 2 and Causa Plantarum I, 9, 3 ).

* John Ray begins publication of his Historia Plantarum, including the first biological definition of the term species ; also his edition of Francis Willughby's Historia Piscum.

Similarly important for herbalists and botanists of later centuries was Theophrastus ' Historia Plantarum, written in the fourth century BC, which was the first systematization of the botanical world.

Martyn's is best known for his Historia Plantarum Rariorum ( 1728 – 1737, illustrated by Jacob van Huysum ), and his translation, with valuable agricultural and botanical notes, of the Eclogues ( 1749 ) and Georgics ( 1741 ) of Virgil.

In Ray's Historia Plantarum ( 1686 ) it is called Styrax liquida.

It was Aristotle ’ s pupil Theophrastus ( 371 – 287 BCE ) in his Historia Plantarum and De Causis Plantarum ( better known as the Enquiry into Plants ) that established the scientific method of careful and critical observation associated with modern botanical science.

He also appeared independently in the legends of the Britons, beginning with the 9th-century Historia Brittonum.

He had access to two works of Eusebius: the Historia Ecclesiastica, and also the Chronicon, though he had neither in the original Greek ; instead he had a Latin translation of the Historia, by Rufinus, and Saint Jerome's translation of the Chronicon.

He also knew Orosius's Adversus Paganus, and Gregory of Tours ' Historia Francorum, both Christian histories, as well as the work of Eutropius, a pagan historian.

Bede acknowledged his correspondents in the preface to the Historia Ecclesiastica ; he was in contact with Daniel, the Bishop of Winchester, for information about the history of the church in Wessex, and also wrote to the monastery at Lastingham for information about Cedd and Chad.

Early modern writers, such as Polydore Vergil and Matthew Parker, the Elizabethan Archbishop of Canterbury, also utilised the Historia, and his works were used by both Protestant and Catholic sides in the Wars of Religion.

The chronicler also wrote down the names of seven kings that Bede listed in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum in 731.

Rhongomyniad (" spear " + " striker, slayer ") is also first mentioned in Culhwch, although only in passing ; it appears as simply Ron (" spear ") in Geoffrey's Historia.

Boniface also gave Justus a letter congratulating him on the conversion of King " Aduluald " ( probably King Eadbald of Kent ), a letter which is included in Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum.

The 9th-century Historia Brittonum also refers to this tale, with the boar there named Troy ( n ) t. Finally, Arthur is mentioned numerous times in the Welsh Triads, a collection of short summaries of Welsh tradition and legend which are classified into groups of three linked characters or episodes in order to assist recall.

Books on the subject included the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, which not only described many different minerals but also explained many of their properties, and Kitab al Jawahir ( Book of Precious Stones ) by Muslim scientist Al Biruni.

Oswald may have had an ally in Penda's brother Eowa, who was also killed in the battle, according to the Historia Britonnum and Annales Cambriae ; while the source only mentions that Eowa was killed, not the side on which he fought, it has been speculated that Eowa was subject to Oswald and fighting alongside him in the battle, in opposition to Penda.

From the Historia it is clear that he also knew French and possibly Italian, but there is not enough evidence to determine whether he learned Greek, Persian, and Arabic, as is sometimes claimed.

The accounts of the 13th-century authors who continued the Historia in French must also be considered suspect, as they were allied to Raymond's supporters in the Ibelin family.

Much of the Historia was finished before William left to attend the Lateran Council, but new additions and corrections were made after his return in 1180, perhaps because he now realized that European readers would also be interested in the history of the kingdom.

" The Historia Augusta also refers to an attack by Saraceni on Pescennius Niger's army in Egypt in 193 CE but provides little information on who they might have been.

His most notable work was his Decem Libri Historiarum or Ten Books of Histories, better known as the Historia Francorum (" History of the Franks "), a title given to it by later chroniclers, but he is also known for his credulous accounts of the miracles of saints, especially four books of the miracles of Martin of Tours.

Gregory's education was the standard Latin one of Late Antiquity, focusing on Vergil's Aeneid and Martianus Capella's Liber de Nuptiis Mercurii et Philologiae, but also other key texts such as Orosius ' Chronicles, which his Historia is a continuation of, and Sallust, all of which works he refers to in his own.

It is also discussed by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia.

Later medieval writers often associated the battle with the legendary King Arthur ( see also, " Historical basis for King Arthur "); however, no text decisively dated before the 9th-century Historia Britonnum mentions Arthur in relation to the battle.

He is mentioned as one of the five British poets of renown, along with Talhaearn Tad Awen (" Talhaearn Father of the Muse "), Aneirin, Blwchfardd, and Cian Gwenith Gwawd (" Cian Wheat of Song "), in the Historia Brittonum, and is also mentioned in the collection of poems known as Y Gododdin.

He also knew Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum ; the Historia Brittonum, a Welsh source ; the Life of Alcuin ; and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.

His Historia Ecclesiastica, in eighteen books, brings the narrative down to 610 ; for the first four centuries the author is largely dependent on his predecessors, Eusebius, Socrates Scholasticus, Sozomen, Theodoret and Evagrius, his additions showing very little critical faculty ; for the later period his labours, based on documents now no longer extant, to which he had free access, though he used them also with small discrimination, are much more valuable.

It was adapted and modified throughout the Middle Ages, including an influential Latin prose version Historia Caroli Magni ( also known as the Pseudo-Turpin Chronicle ), which also includes Roland's battle with a Saracen giant named Ferracutus who is only vulnerable at his navel ( the story was later adapted in the anonymous Franco-Venetian epic L ' Entrée d ' Espagne ( c. 1320 ) and in the 14th century Italian epic La Spagna ( attributed to the Florentine Sostegno di Zanobi and likely composed between 1350 – 1360 ).
