Botanicon, continens herbarum, aliorumque simplicium, quorum usus in medicinis est, descriptiones et iconas ad vivum effigiatas : ex praecipuis tam Grecis quam Latinis Authoribus jam recens concinnatum ; Additis etiam, quae Neotericorum obseruationes & experientiae uel comprobarunt denuo, uel nuper inuenerunt/ Avt. Theodorico Dorstenio Medico.
Botanicon is a 1540 Latin herbal by the physician Theodor Dorsten, printed at Frankfurt by Christian Egenolff for medical students and practitioners who used plants as remedies. Its pictures are small woodcut figures of single plants, each drawn whole with stems, leaves, flowers and roots set against plain paper, a clear model for botanical line drawing.
