| Description | Little is known of the life of Abdiah Cole, though he must have been born some time in the early seventeenth century. He describes himself as a 'doctor of physick and the liberal arts', but it is not known where he graduated, and he was not a member of the College of Physicians. Cole did compile and translate medical textbooks and his name is often associated with Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654), a writer on astrology and medicine. It seems that the texts were originally written by Culpeper and Cole was therefore probably employed to edit and revise the texts. |
