(via Bucks Views antique prints of Views of Ruins of Castles & Abbeys in England 1726-1739) Basilius Besler was the botanist apothecary who produce this superb work, the Hortus Eystettensis, published in Eichstatt, Germany in 1613 under the patronage of the Prince Bishop of Eichstatt. It was from the prince’s remarkable botanical garden that many of the illustrations came. This stunning garden was a lavish and costly creation containing many exotic imports from far flung parts, including American and Asia.
