The Paper Museum of Cassiano Dal Pozzo: Flora: The Erbario Miniato and Other Drawings

Over two hundred of the botanical drawings catalogued in these two volumes are found in the Erbario Miniato, an early 17th-century herbal. Also catalogued are more than sixty drawings that originally formed a companion volume to the Erbario Miniato. Together the drawings provide a fascinating insight into the study of botany at the dawn of the modern era. Each drawing is reproduced in color, and their botanical, medicinal and historical aspects discussed in the accompanying text.
