Description from the seller

A monumental German herbal and medical compendium of the late 17th century, containing descriptions and uses of plants, shrubs, and trees from Europe and beyond. The work is especially significant for its rich coverage of stimulants and exotic plants, including coffee, chocolate, tea and tobacco.

Based on the editions of Bernhard Verzascha with substantial expansion by Zwinger, who placed greater emphasis on pharmacological properties and practical applications.
