Histoire des drogues espiceries, et de certains medicamens simples
Histoire des drogues espiceries, et de certains medicamens simples is a 1619 French materia medica by Garcia da Orta, printed at Lyon by Jean Pillehoyte for physicians and apothecaries studying drugs and spices. Its woodcuts show botanical specimens drawn with plain outlines: a flowering vine with bladder-like fruits, a bushy shrub with small leaves, a pepper plant with pointed pods, and a leafy branch, each set on a page with French captions.
