Page 371-72, recto shows text, verso shows illustration of cicadas insect, minor wear to outer edge margins, still very nice, suitable for framing. 9.75 x 14.5 inches. Cicadas insects are a valuable food source for birds and other predators and can aerate and filtrate the ground. Pietro Andrea Mattioli (1501-1577), Italian doctor and the most successful botanical writer in sixteenth-century-Europe. His masterpiece was his translation and commentary of the Greek botanist Dioscorides, that he constantly emended keeping it up to date with new medical plants and numerous detailed woodcuts.

Illustrations designed by Giorgio Liberale of Udine.
