Sobre este artículo
Introduction, history with 38 illustrations in the text, a list of works consulted and a bibliography of editions printed before 1500.
It was an agreeable conceit of the fifteenth century to attribute to its books of herbs and materia medica the qualities of a garden. Two great herbals literally bore the name of "the garden of health"- the Gart der Gesundheit, which first appeared in Mainz, the birthplace of printing, in 1485, and the Hortus Sanitatis, which was published in the same historic city six years later. This study contains numerous illustrations from both.
