Prospero Alpino's 1640 Latin botanical treatise on the plants of Egypt, printed at Padua with notes by Johannes Veslingius, aimed at physicians and pharmacists. Its woodcut plates show individual plants with stems, leaves, fruit and roots set against plain page backgrounds, each labelled with a Latin heading, offering a designer clear, sparse botanical line drawings to adapt for natural or herbal motifs.
