The Hortus Eystettensis, published in 1613, showcases the diverse flowers of Prince-Bishop Johann Konrad von Gemmingen's gardens in Eichstätt, Germany. Illustrated by Basilius Besler, the 367 engravings feature plants from 90 families and 340 genera. Considered a masterpiece of botanical literature, it was praised by Carl Linnaeus. Despite the gardens' destruction in 1634, the catalog remains highly valued, with first-edition copies fetching over half a million dollars. TASCHEN's edition makes this stunning work accessible to a wider audience, preserving the garden's beauty for generations.
