reference in popular culture[edit]

should there be a reference in popular culture added, the hortus deliciarum (or 'hortus delicarum') is mentioned in the movie The Last Exorcism as an encyclopedia of demons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bookie988 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for updating[edit]

The article could use better descriptions of the various pages found in the manuscript and reference as to where the knowledge for those sections originates. Each sections is also lacking in detail and organization into separately headed sections.JmFrioux (talk) 19:22, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Query.[edit]

Was the encyclopedia both written and illustrated by Herrad of Landsberg? The article doesn't specifically say that. Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 14:55, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
