Historia plantarum: earum imagines, qualitates & natale solum.
Quibus accessere Simplicium medicamentoru facultates, secundum locos & genera ex Dioscoride. Lugduni: Apud Gabrielem Coterium, 1561. Compiled by Antoine Du Pinet from the work of Mattioli and others. First edition--Cf. Hunt 85. References: Hunt 85; Johnston, S. H. Cleveland coll. 87. ASU copy lacks Simplicium medicamentoru facultates (p. 1-229, second group).
This is one of the first pocket herbals, with woodcut illustrations and brief information on the names of the plants in five languages, where the plant is located and its "qualities" are given. It is actually a condensed version of the works of Mattioli and others.
Subjects: Botany--Pre-Linnean works.
