Traicté de Christophle de la Coste medecin et chirurgien. des drogues & medicamens qui naissent aux Indes. : seruant beaucoup pour l'esclaircissement & intelligence de ce que Garcie du Iardin a escrit sur ce subject.
A 1619 Lyon edition of Cristóbal Acosta's treatise on drugs and medicines from the East Indies, annotated by Carolus Clusius and building on Garcia de Orta's earlier work, aimed at physicians and apothecaries. The four plates show botanical woodcuts of plants with leaves, fruits, roots and seed pods drawn in dense ink lines against blank page margins, offering a designer dense, scientific linework and a classic herbal layout to adapt.
