Macer Aemilius, of Verona, was senior to Ovid, and died in Asia, B. C. 16, three
years after Virgil, as we learn from the Eusebian Chronicle. He wrote a poem or
poems upon birds, snakes, and medicinal plants, in imitation, it would appear,
of the Theriaca of Nicander. His productions, of which not one word remains, are
thus commemorated in the Tristia:
"Saepe suas volucres legit mihi grandior aevo,
Quaeque necet serpens, quae juvet herba,
Macer.'
The work now extant, entitled "Aemilius Macer de Herbarum Virtutibus," belongs
to the middle ages. Of this piece there is an old translation, "Macer's Herbal,
practys'd by Doctor Lynacro. Translated out of Laten into Englysshe, which shewynge
theyr Operacyons and Vertues set in the margent of this Boke, to the entent you
myght know theyr vertues." There is no date; but it was printed by "Robt. Wyer,
dwellynge at the sygne of Saynt Johan evangelyste, in Seynt Martyns Parysshe,
in the byshop of Norwytche rentes, besyde Charynge Crosse."
