The third and broadest in scope of the three great fifteenth-century herbals the Hortus Sanitatis is an encyclopaedic survey of the plant animal and mineral kingdoms and their medical applications. Regarded the last great medieval compilation of natural history it includes much traditional lore and its many authorities are scrupulously cited. The book is divided into five major "treatises" on plants animals birds fish and precious stones with an additional shorter treatise on urines. The text of the Tractatus de herbis differs substantially from the Gart der Gesundheit and the traditional bibliographic reference to these historically related but very different works as the German and Latin versions of the Hortus Sanitatis is incorrect In the 16th century the Hortus was translated into German but there are no Latin versions of the Gart. 409 of the 530 botanical woodcuts were based on the cuts of Schönsperger's smaller format editions of the Gart the remainder being specially commissioned for this edition. The woodcuts of the other sections belong to several different series cut by engravers of various levels of skill. They include a series of genre scenes showing workmen at their labors doctors with patients etc. probably cut by the same engraver who was responsible for the full-page woodcuts. The three succeeding German incunable editions printed by Johann Prüss were illustrated with copies of these cuts. <br> In terms of freshness sophistication and brilliance the hand coloring of our copy is to be considered outstanding. It is strictly contemporary indicated by the used copper-based green-color Verdigris which caused minor cracking of underneath paper-patches in places. <br> "The third of the fundamental botanical works produced at Mainz towards the close of the fifteenth century was the 'Hortus' or as it is more commonly called 'Ortus Sanitatis' printed by Jacob Meydenbach in 1491. It is in part a modified Latin translation of the German Herbarius but it is not merely this for it contains treatises on animals birds fishes and stones which are almost unrepresented in the Herbarius. Nearly one-third of the figures of herbs are new. The rest are copied on a reduced scale from the German Herbarius and the drawing which is by no means improved often shows that the copyist did not fully understand the nature of the object he was attempting to portray. The Ortus Sanitatis is very rich in pictures. . Before the treatise on Animals there is a large engraving of three figures with a number of beasts at their feet and before that on Birds there is a lively picture with an architectural background showing a scene which swarms with innumerable birds of all kinds whose peculiarities are apparently being discussed by two savants in the foreground. The treatise on Fishes begins with a landscape with water enlivened by shipping. There are two figures in the foreground and in the water fishes crabs and mythical monsters such as mermen are seen disporting themselves. Before the treatise on Stones there is a very spirited scene representing a number of figures in a jewelle's shop and two large wood-cuts of doctors and their patients illustrate the medical portion with which the book concludes. The treatise on Plants is considerably modified from the German Herbarius and the virtues of the herbs described are dealt with at greater length. The Herbarium of Apuleius Platonicus is more than once quoted though not by name. A number of new illustrations are added some of which are highly imaginative. The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge are dealt with amongst other botanical objects a woman-headed serpent being introduced in the first case and Adam and Eve in the second. There is a beautiful description of the virtues of the Tree of Life in which we read that he who should eat of the fruit 'should be clothed with blessed immortality and should not be fatigued with infirmity or anxiety or lassitude or weariness of trouble.' The engraving which is named Narcissus has diminutive figures emerging from the flowers like a transformation scene at a pantomime! It is probably however intended to represent the conversion of the beautiful youth Narcissus into a flower. Apart from these mythological subjects there are a number of very curious engravings. A tree called 'Bausor' for instance which was believed to exhale a narcotic poison like the fabulous Upas tree has two men lying beneath its shade apparently in the sleep of death. Among the herbs substances such as starch vinegar cheese soap etc. are included and as these do not lend themselves to direct representation they become the excuse for a delightful set of genre pictures. 'Wine' is illustrated by a man gazing at a glass; 'Bread' by a housewife with loaves on the table before her; 'Water' by a fountain; 'Honey' by a boy who seems to be extracting it from the comb; and 'Milk' by a woman milking a cow. The picture which appears under the heading of Amber shows great ingenuity. The writer points out that this substance according to some authors is the fruit or gum of a tree growing by the sea while according to others it is produced by a fish or by sea foam. In order to represent all these possibilities the figure shows the sea indicated in a conventional fashion with a tree growing out of it and a fish swimming in it. The writer of the Ortus Sanitatis on the other hand holds the opinion that Amber is generated under the sea after the manner of the Fungi which arise on land. The treatises on animals and fishes are full of pictures of mythical creatures such as a unicorn being caressed by a lady as though it were a little dog recalling the 'Lady and Unicorn' tapestry in the Musée Cluny - a fight between a man and hydras - the phoenix in the flames - and a harpy with its claws in a man's body. Other monsters which are figured include a dragon the Basilisk Pegasus and a bird with a long neck which is tied in an ornamental knot" Arber.<br> Meydenbach's Hortus Sanitatis is exceptionally rare with only a few complete or fully-colored copies at auction in the past 50 years.
