Petri Andreae Matthioli Medici Senensis Commentarii, In Libros Sex Pedacii Dioscoridis Anazarbei, De Medica Materia: Adiectis quàm plurimis plantarum & animalium imaginibus, eodem authore
This is a 1554 Latin commentary by the Sienese physician Pietro Andrea Mattioli on the six books of Dioscorides' herbal, printed in Venice with many added plant and animal woodcuts. Its pictures are plain black-line woodcuts of single plants shown whole, roots to flower tips, on blank paper with no background, useful to designers for botanical line drawing and clean isolated specimen layouts.
