VD 16, M 1616. - Nissen 1311. - Hagelin I, 27-29 (vorlieg. Exemplar). - Vierte deutsche, zugleich dritte Frankfurter Ausgabe. - "The present edition of Mattioli's herbal is edited by another great herbalist, Joachim Camerarius the Younger (1534-1598) of Nuremberg ... His edition is of special interest as it contains illustrations deriving from the famous Conrad Gesner. His immortal 'Historia animalium' was intended to be followed by an equally splendid 'Historia plantarum', for which he accumulated some 1500 botanical drawings, the majority of them original, and some wood-blocks made from them. On his death his material was left to his friend Kaspar Wolf, who in turn sold them to Camerarius ... Camerarius' German editions appeared enlarged and in reprints up to 1626."
