請依下文回答第 6 題至第 9 題          Since many vegetables had their earliest uses as medicinal, herbals are some of the earliest and most importantmanuals about vegetables. The origin of these early plant books can be traced to the Greek interest in cataloging anddescribing plants. As originators of the study of botany, the Greeks produced writings that listed common plantswhile often supplying their medical usage. For much of the Middle Ages, there was little distinction betweenmedicine and botany, as plants were used to cure ills.       The greatest authority of medicinal plants during the Renaissance was the Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides(about A.D. 20). Dioscorides was the most authoritative writer in botany for 16 centuries, and his work De MateriaMedica (The Matters of Medicine) is considered the most important herbal of all time. He traveled widely and studiedplants wherever he went. For over 1,500 years his work was considered the final authority on the pharmaceutical uses of herbs and plants. His work described roughly 500 plants and 1,000 different medications.         With the development of the printing press, the first half of the 16th century saw much of his work translatedinto common languages such as French, German, Italian, and English.
