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

It was compiled in 1552 at the College of Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco Mexico City by two Indigenous scholars: Martín de la Cruz Martinus de la Cruz an Aztec physician wrote the text in Nahuatl Aztec language from native medical experience; and Juan Badiano Juannes Badianus a Latin teacher at the same college translated it into Latin. 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. The edition made the herbal widely accessible for the first time and remains a landmark in the history of American botany and medicine. The original manuscript was later returned to Mexico by Pope John Paul II in 1990.
