Nerd [1]
Fig. 276—Nardostachys Jatamansi
Nerd or Nard is mentioned in three places in the Song of Solomon, and by Mark and John in the New Testament. It is translated in the Authorized Version by the word spikenard, which indicates a far-famed perfume of the East, that has often engaged the attention of critics, but the plant which yields it has only been ascertained in very recent times. That the nerd of Scripture was a perfume is evident from the fact that, in; , it is mentioned along with many of the most valued aromatics which were known to the ancients. That the nard or nardus was of great value we learn from the New Testament .
