The woodcuts in this book are exceptionally fine. (There is only one of plants.) In some copies the woodcuts are coloured by a contemporary artist, possibly Bämler himself, for he was well known as an illuminator before he began printing. Though not strictly a herbal, the above is included in this list, as this andLiber de Proprietatibus Rerumare the earliest printed books containing a section on herbs.)1478. Another edition.1499.

The preface is singularly beautiful. Though the preface enjoins the name “Ortus Sanitatis, in German, a Garden of Health,” the title in this and subsequent editions is Herbarius zu teutsch.1485 (a few months later than the above). Pirated edition printed at Augsburg, probably by Schönsperger. It is interesting to note that in this edition a pine cone, the badge of Augsburg, appears on the title-page.

Ortus Sanitatis.
1491. Ortus Sanitatis. Printed at Mainz by Jacob Meydenbach.
(This is often regarded as a Latin translation of the Herbarius zu teutsch, but it is much larger and owes very little to that work. The woodcuts are copied from the Herbarius zu teutsch, but they are inferior.)

Subsequent editions, 1530, 1531, 1532, 1536, 1537.
(The illustrations in this herbal are much superior to the text, which is based chiefly on the writings of the Italian herbalists. Brunfels was a Carthusian monk who turned Protestant. Jacob Theodor (Tabernæmontanus) was a pupil of Brunfels.)

(The first edition (1539) has no illustrations. The illustrations in the second edition (1546) are generally supposed to have been copied from Fuchs’s Herbal (1542), but many of them are original. Bock’s Herbal is remarkable for the accurate descriptions of the plants.)

(Thurneisser was one of the foremost exponents of astrological botany. He gives astrological diagrams showing when the various herbs should be picked. The illustrations are not particularly good, but they are attractive owing to the quaint ornamental border which surrounds each figure.)
