Book Description
Consists of plates collected together in Besler's Hortus Eystettensis, a gardening book first published in 1613. Among the botanic gardens ... that of the Bishop of Eichstätt on the Willibaldsburg was outstanding; the Bishop ordered drawings of the flowers and plants to be made. Long considered one of the most ambitious and splendid books on ornamental flowering plants. Reproductions are in full colour and in the original size. With full notes and commentary on each plant in a new English translation.
