Les six livres de Pedarion Dioscoride d’Anazarbe de la matiere medicale, translatez de Latin en François. A chacun Chapitre sont adjoustees certaines annotations fort doctes, et recueillies des plus excellens Medecins, anciens et modernes
A 1553 French translation of Dioscorides' six-book herbal on medicinal materials, rendered from Latin by Martin Mathée and printed in Lyon by Balthazar Arnoullet for physicians and students of medicine. Its woodcuts show individually drawn plants with roots, stems and leaves set beside columns of dense black-letter French text, a clear model for botanical specimen layouts and scientific plates.
