An unfortunately incomplete copy of this rare botanical repertoire dedicated to Prince Eugene and illustrated by the splendid intaglio plates by Dell'Acqua with colouring by Lazzaretti. The work illustrates 392 medicinal and edible plants organized in alphabetical order and is completed by the repertoire that divides them according to their functions and their classes according to the Linnean system. This copy is embellished by the presence of the original wrappers from which we learn the considerable original cost of the individual bundles, two Italian lire.
