 Margaret B. Freeman [1899-1980] was an American art historian who was the head curator of The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to medieval art and architecture, from 1955 to 1965. She studied medieval tapestries as well as the use of plants in medieval art. Her research on the Cloisters' medieval gardens culminated in the publishing of this title, a book on early medieval herbs, with illustrations of plants within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collections.
