And such was formerly esteemed this prerogative of imposing one’s name to herbs invented,

Original French:  Et tant a eſté iadis eſtimée ceſte prærogatiue de impoſer ſon nom aux herbes inuentées,

Modern French:  Et tant a esté iadis estimée ceste praerogative de imposer son nom aux herbes inventées,


Et tant a esté jadis estimée ceste prærogative…

Elle l’est encore par les botanistes et zoologistes.
