1680 Mattioli HERBAL Botany
Medicine Pharmacy Dioscorides Kreuterbuch Drugs
Pietro Mattioli was an important 16th-century Tuscan
physician whose medical and botanical treatises were reliable and accurate for
centuries after first published. Perhaps his most famous treatise, ‘Kreutterbuch’ is one of the most
important illustrated herbal and horticultural books to ever be published.
According to ‘Heirs of Hippocrates,’
“In this commentary on Dioscorides, Mattioli
prepared what many authorities now regard as the encyclopedia of Renaissance pharmacology. He studied
hundreds of plants, examined and described them fully, added many new species,
and provided excellent illustrations which were far superior to those of any
previous work in the field.” (HoH 141)
Mattioli included descriptions of other scientific studies such as fluid
and water distillation and hippopotamus genitals used against snake bites – all
of which are illustrated with hundreds
of woodcut figures throughout!
