(In the Italian editions and translations the book is
erroneously attributed to Arnold de Nova Villa, whose name
is mentioned on the title-page with that of Avicenna. This
error is pointed out in the British Museum Catalogue.)

1485. Herbarius zu Teutsch. Printed at Mainz by Peter
Schöffer.
America: Surgeon-General's Library, Washington, and library

The illustrations in this herbal are evidently drawn from
nature, and are generally held to be only surpassed by those
in the herbals of Brunfels and Fuchs. The preface is
singularly beautiful. Though the preface enjoins the name
"Ortus Sanitatis, in German, a Garden of Health," the title
in this and subsequent editions is Herbarius zu teutsch.
1485 (a few months later than the above). Pirated edition
printed at Augsburg, probably by Schönsperger. It is
interesting to note that in this edition a pine cone, the
badge of Augsburg, appears on the title-page. Figures of
plants are very inferior to those in the first edition.
1486. Edition printed at Augsburg by Schönsperger.
Subsequent editions, 1487 (?), 1488, 1493, 1496, 1499, 1502.

other was sold in London, March 23, 1898.)
