The Editors: Peter Bierbaumer has dedicated a long time of his career to the research of Old English in general and to the botanical vocabulary of Old English in particular. His three volume study Der botanische Wortschatz des Altenglischen (1975-1979) was a pioneer work in this field. Today, in his pension, he is supervising the making of an online dictionary partly based on his previous work.
Helmut W. Klug is working on mediaeval plants from a cultural historical point of view since the publication of his diploma thesis on medicinal herbs in Middle High German poetry. In his doctoral thesis he is currently trying to assess the implications of interdisciplinary dependencies concerning mediaeval plants, their names, and their use in a mediaeval European context.
