The meticulous illustrations are organized according to the four seasons, and, following the classification system used today, show plants belonging to a total of 90 families and covering 340 genera. The whole collection is regarded as one of the finest treasures of botanical literature; it was described by Carl Linnaeus, the legendary 18th-century botanist and zoologist, as an \"incomparable work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesler's pictorial catalog long outlived the gardens, which were destroyed in 1634 by invading Swedish troops. In auction, the asking price for a first-edition copy of Hortus Eystettensis is now more than half a million dollars. With this edition, TASCHEN opens up the garden to a much wider audience: a rich and beautiful record, destined to keep the garden's beauty in bloom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/shop.nypl.org\/products\/book-stamping\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1558193756111000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNE4SBzn1k3TNa_tCQWi89X-mAVqzQ\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.nypl.org\/products\/book-stamping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGet your Book Stamped for Free\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors: \u003c\/strong\u003eWerner Dressendörfer, Klaus Walter Littger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 544\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDim:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.0\" x 7.9\" x 1.9\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem Number: 9783836557870\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48548490838267,"sku":"9783836557870","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/9098\/7771\/files\/florilegium-plant-book.jpg?v=1774423988","url":"https:\/\/yirzrf-ph.myshopify.com\/products\/florilegium-the-book-of-plants","provider":"Page \u0026 Prose Nook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
