The first full-color facsimile edition with English translation and scholarly apparatus of the earliest known illustrated medical herbal produced in the Americas.

The manuscript was prepared as a gift for Francisco de Mendoza son of Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza and intended ultimately for the Spanish court. It later passed into the Barberini collection and then the Vatican Library Codex Barberini Lat. 241. It was rediscovered there in 1929 by Charles Upson Clark.
