In the first efn note, is there a reason "Materia Medica" is not italicised in Newly Revised Materia Medica?
Materia Medica is italicised by default and it seems that conventionally when a usually italicised phrase is in an intalicised title, you'd un-italicise it. Certainly that's the case in the sources I've read, but I wonder if our style guides differ on this

I basically have to obligatorily ask given how short it is—can Contents be expanded at all? For instance, are there any other particularly notable drugs given in any of the sources?
The difficulty is the original text and illustrations are lost. I've extracted as much as I can from the sources - I'd daresay our entry is one of the most substantial ones on the topic that you can find anywhere on the Web

"because of an "imperial taboo"." – does the source say anything else about this/can more context be given for readers?
I would like to know too! However the source doesn't say more. Buell (2017) similarly notes that his name was changed due to a "naming taboo" but doesn't elaborate.

Are there any freely-licensed images of the Xinxiu bencao? Would be fascinating to see what it looks like.
Can't find any at the moment, unfortunately - besides it would be images of the copy since the original has been lost for quite some time

Passes spotcheck on refs 1 (cited six times) and 5 (cited twice).
