Description:
Basel: Michael Isingrin (Oakland: Octavo), 1542; 2003. 1st edition. Other Binding. New/No Jacket (as issued). New digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc; this is not a printed book) of the 1542 first edition of the first printed herbal to accurately depict botanical detail in plants. Fuchs's herbal is one of the foundational works of western medicine, pharmacy, and botany, and is here presented in unprecedented detail and fidelity from an uncolored original copy. This Octavo Edition contains detailed digital images (may be magnified up to 200% of original size) as well as a new introduction by botany historian Karen Reeds, indexes of currently accepted botanical and English common names of the plants and detailed bibliographical information. "This herbal is a beautiful, scholarly, and scientific piece of botanical and medical history. The CD-ROM offers several tools and options that make this more than just an inexpensive substitute for the 'real book.'"--Economic Botany
