Matthaeus Silvaticus or Mattheus Sylvaticus was an Italian medieval medical writer and botanist.

Matthaeus Silvaticus is read about 4 times a day, in 8 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 22 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
