Description
Oak Tree, from Mattioli's Commentaires, Lyons, 1579. Pietro Andrea Gregorio Mattioli (1501-1577) was a doctor and naturalist born in Siena. A careful student of botany, he described 100 new plants and coordinated the medical botany of his time in his Discorsi (Commentaries). The woodcuts in Mattioli's work were of a high standard, allowing recognition of the plant even when the text was obscure.
