This is a 1674 Basel herbal edition of Pietro Andrea Mattioli's commentaries on Dioscorides, printed for Joannis Köning and expanded by Caspar Bauhin for physicians and herbalists studying medicinal plants. Its woodcut plates show single plants drawn whole, roots to flowers, with leaves, stems and seed heads cross-hatched in fine parallel lines against a plain page, a model for botanical line illustration.
