Medieval Book of Deadly Poisons
Murder by poison was the most popular form of assassination in Medieval times, as poison was easy to obtain and simple to administer! Best of all, it could be done covertly…
In the Middle Ages, deadly poison gardens showcased toxic plants with killing power – nature that could kill instead of heal! Medieval poisonous plants could be used as lethal weapons, with powerful recipes that could intoxicate and murder. Some infamous poisons include Mugwort, Nightshade, Aconite and Henbane.
The Medieval Book of Poisons collection accurately proves how poisoning has always shocked and fascinated us! This authentically Medieval four-sheet DIY printable makes a complete set of 12 miniature books. It consists of poison book covers uniquely labelled with names of infamous Medieval poisons. There are also dark-themed end papers and double-sided book pages with intriguing period illustrations of toxic plants that were grown in poison gardens. This fun collection is perfect for mini murder and medicine dioramas, apothecaries and any dollhouse library!

To create quality double-sided pages with good alignment, I recommend printing my printables on the following paper:
Book Covers – white cardstock paper (65lb/176gsm), A4 or 8.5″ x 11″ – https://amzn.to/33j2fc9
End Papers – standard printer paper (75/80gsm), size A4 (not 8.5″ x 11″) – https://amzn.to/3j5A2e9
Book Pages – standard printer paper (75/80gsm), size A4 (not 8.5″ x 11″) – https://amzn.to/3j5A2e9
NB. If you feel that the book covers print too dark for your needs, adjust your printer settings (brightness and contrast)
