DETAILS

Illustrated title page with numerous illustrated plates throughout.Basil Beslerworked on the drawings for the 374 copper engravings over a period of sixteen years using the plants in the garden of Bishop Johann Conrad von Gemmingen, his patron.

Depicted in this florilegium were flowers, herbs, vegetables and newly discovered plants such as Tobacco and peppers.

Besler was, in modern terms, a botanist and horticulturalist, and he was familiar with real and alleged medicinal properties of various plants.

The garden that he organised and illustrated for his patron was both ornamental and experimental.
