Basilius Besler
Hortus Eystettensis

Published 1613
First Edition

This amazing collection of botanical illustrations is "the most celebrated florilegium ever published," as quoted by Christies, and is exceptional in every sense. It is called the Hortus Eystettensis and is the largest and most superior of any of the botanical collections containing over 1000 different species of flowers within 367 different plates.

Besler’s work is one of true mastery, and remains to this day a remarkable collection, cherished and admired by all fortunate enough to become collectors of such beauty.
