When Prince Bishop von Gemmingen founded Germany's famous garden at Eichstätt in the early seventeenth century, its lush beauty was recorded in magnificent copperplate engravings. Later published as the Hortus Eystettensis by Basilius Besler, the colorful plates expertly mirrored the diversity of the celebrated garden, making it a great treasure of botanical literature. This collection gathers the finest illustrations from that historic study. Meticulously reproduced and carefully identified, here are the rare plants, flowers, and trees that once flourished throughout the grounds of Eichstätt's palace gardens. A thriving source of design ideas and horticultural information, this glorious gallery of art will endlessly delight artists, designers, and botanical enthusiasts.

In der zweiten Halfte des 16. Jh. statteten die Furstbischofe von Eichstatt ihre Residenz auf der Willibaldsburg mit reprasentativen Gartenanlagen aus. Diese Garten waren schon bald wegen ihrer heimischen und vor allem fremden Pflanzen weit beruhmt. Der Nurnberger Apotheker Basilius Besler veroffentlichte 1613 ein Buch mit Kupferstichtafeln all dieser Gewachse - das "Hortus Eystettensis."In vorliegendem Prachtband sind samtliche Bildtafeln wiedergegeben und kommentiert, daruber hinaus wird das Werk in seinen historischkulturellen Kontext eingeordnet.

TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - Special edition! New design, new low price! The most famous botanical record ever committed to paper: Basilius Besler's complete Book of Plants of 1613 A magnificent pictorial document of the flowers grown in the greatest German garden of its time, the Book of Plants is in a class of its own when it comes to the variety and range of flowers engraved. Working under Basilius Besler, a team of at least ten engravers worked on this massive project, translating in situ and specimen drawings faithfully to copper plates. Nearly four hundred years old, the book has survived though the gardens did not; they were destroyed by invading Swedish troops in 1634. However, in 1998 a reconstruction of the original garden opened to the public in Eichst?tt. This facsimile's reproductions - structured by seasons - are taken from a hand-painted edition, one of only a few still extant. In auction, the asking price for a first edition copy is half a million dollars. You can now enjoy its unique qualities for somewhat less.
