herbal garden Explanation: No, I don't think the average woman on the street would understand what hortus sanitatis is. --- The best known botanical incunabulum published in Mainz is the Hortus Sanitatis, 'the garden of health', of 1491. The Hortus Sanitatis is rich in pictures and we shall see how rapidly illustration developed." http://www.voynich.net/Arch/2001/11/msg00022.html The Hortus Sanitatis or the Ortus Sanitatis (the origin of health), as it is also known, is in the tradition of the medieval herbals. It is partly based on Der Gart der Gesundheit (Garden of Health), which is sometimes attributed to Johann von Cube, and was originally printed by Peter Schoeffer at Mainz in 1485. http://www.kcl.ac.uk/iss/library/speccoll/bomarch/bomjuly.ht... |
