A lapidary is a book which describes the physical characteristics and properties of jewels and other minerals. In period, they would also recount myths, legends and folk beliefs attached to the minerals, such as which could protect from wolves, which induce eros, and which bring on a miscarriage. All useful things to know, if you were a randy young man with a morbid fear of wolves.
