Gart der Gesundheit
Gart der Gesundheit. (Mainz, Peter Schöffer 1485).
Fragment der ersten Ausgabe des deutschen Hortus sanitatis. "The most important medieval work on natural history" (Hunt).
"The Gart der Gesundheit was a landmark in the history of botanical illustration, one which marked perhaps the greatest step ever made in that art; its delineations of plants, breaking away from the traditional stylized woodcut, were not only unsurpassed, but unequalled for nearly half a century" (Hunt, nach Klebs).

Fehlstellen (Text und Bild betroffen), tls. mit Randläsuren, tls. grob beschnitten, 4 Bll. verbunden, einige alte Marginalien.
