The Besler Florilegium – Plants of the Four Seasons
$165.00
Coffee Table’s BFF. Basileus Besler (1561-1629) is one of my favorite naturalists and illustrators. He was a pharmacist and botanist in Germany and became well known for developing his own botanical garden and collection of specimens. He later was the curator of the garden (Eichstätt Garden) of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen (1561–1612), Prince-bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. The bishop was an enthusiastic botanist who derived great pleasure from his garden, which rivaled Hortus Botanicus Leiden among early European botanical gardens outside Italy.
