Due libri dell'historia de i semplici, aromati, et altre cose; che vengono portate dall'Indie Orientali pertinenti all'vso della medicina.
Garcia de Orta's 1582 Venetian herbal, printed by Francesco Ziletti, is a medical natural history of drugs and spices brought from the East Indies for physicians. Its woodcuts show roughly carved, irregular organic objects such as galls, fruits and stones, drawn with bold parallel hatching and cross-hatching that a designer could borrow for textured organic forms.
