  • Comment on (A): Centaurium erythraea Rafn., common centaury, Echtes Tausendgüldenkraut

    Cf. L FEL TERRAE. Not recorded in BT(SC); in ClH "felt-ere, -erre, a plant, LCD" with wrongly placed dash (L FEL TERRAE). In LA 148/10 and 194/8 felterre occurs alongside →feferfuge but cf. the note on 148/14.

    L FEL TERRAE, cf. →eorþ-gealla. Holthausen (1974, s.v. gealla) wrongly relates eorþgealla with gealla 'gall, swelling, wound, Galle, Geschwulst, wunde Stelle'; L FEL TERRAE proves that it is related to gealla 'bile, Galle',( L FEL). Felterre is not recorded in BT, BTS, BTC.

Cont.: Wyrc þeordrænc godne: genim wermod 7 boþen, acrimonian, pollegan, þa smalan wenwyrt,/ feltere, ægwyrt, þyorwyrt; cf. LB 99/19ff: Wyrc godne þeordrenc wermod, bogen, garclifan, polleian, wenwyrt, þa smalan fel terre, eagwyrt, þeorwyrt; if þa smalan was erroneously placed in front of wenwyrt in LA we have to interprete feltere as Centaurium umbellatum; this is supported by the occurrence of curmeallan in the same recipe. Meaney (1984,257,79) expresses an oppositional opinion.
