It's probably Equisetum arvense. E. arvense gets little nodules on the roots and the "leaves" turn up more than some of the other Equiseta.

I agree that this is an excellent parallel, thank you for sharing it!
I just found that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. apparently is a XVI century copy of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
Attached on the left is an earlier version of Cauda Equina (img 45 from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. possibly the earliest copy 1460 ca).
Attached on the right is another plant from a different copy of that herbal (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) dating to 1475 ca. It also has similar roots. The plant is here called Capero (Italian for "capers") but it does not look like capers.
An image very similar to the one you posted appears in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

I'd say Ellie is right. It's Cypress.
