Ioh. Henrici Ursini ... arboretum biblicum, in quo arbores & frutices passim in S. literis occurrentes, notis philologicis, philosophicis, theologicis, exponuntur, & illustrantur. Cum continuatione & sylva theologiae symbolicae, nec non appendice de terribili quondam vifa cometa, nunc tertia vicere virescens
A 1685 Latin botanical treatise by Johann Heinrich Ursin, printed in Germany for the Tauber publishing house, that explains the trees and shrubs named in the Bible through philological, philosophical and theological notes. Its engraved plates show single trees drawn in plain outline on a bare ground line, with Latin labels beneath, offering a designer clear, simple tree silhouettes with no added setting.
