Purchase options and add-ons

Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566,) was a founding father of modern botany, honored to this day in the vivid flower, and corresponding color, Fuchsia. In 1543, Fuchs combined his masterful botanical knowledge with groundbreaking medical research in his New Herbal, a catalog of some 500 types of plants and their healing properties.

While a dependable scientific reference, The New Herbal won fame above all with the detail and quality of its illustrations. Alongside essays describing the plants’ features, origins, and medicinal powers, Fuchs presented each plant with meticulous woodcut illustrations, refining the ability for swift species identification and setting new standards for accuracy and quality in botanical publications. From the age of great exploration, The New Herbal also documented plant types from the recently discovered New World, offering the first visual record of tobacco, maize, kidney bean, and cactus.

This edition is based on Fuchs’s personal, hand-colored copy, which has miraculously survived four-and-a-half centuries in pristine condition. Fascinating for historians of medicine and art, gardeners, and anyone interested in herbal medicine, the volume features over 500 splendid illustrations, and an essay exploring the history of healing herbs.

    It's a gorgeous, but seriously heavy and gigantic book! The large heavy book is in the original language of German, but the accompanying smaller book was in English, as promised.

    Sadly, my German is limited to asking my way to the station, the text is in Gothic German, illustrations are great ...not for light reading as it weighs about 5 kilos

    Este libro es la edición completa en alemán de 1543 del trabajo "De historia stirpium commentarii insignes (1542)" publicado originalmente en latín y griego. El libro principal tiene 892 páginas y más de 500 imágenes de plantas y flores a página completa. Tiene unas dimensiones de 37.7 x 23.4 x 6.4 cm y un peso de 4.94 Kg.

    En cuanto al contenido es muy dificil de leer, no solo porque está en alemán, sino porque la tipografía antigua en sí es difícil de entender. En mi caso lo principal son las imágenes de las plantas y no tanto el texto, afortunadamente trae un pequeño libro de estudio en el que describe un poco los textos del libro principal, así como colocar el nombre de la planta en inglés moderno. Cabe recalcar que Fuchs no le colocó descripción a todas las plantas, por lo que hay algunas plantas que solo tienen dibujo pero no texto.
