The title Hortus Eystettensis refers to the famous, comprehensive and gorgeously illustrated overview work on the flora of the episcopal botanical garden in Eichstätt. From 1595, the garden itself was laid out on behalf of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt, Johann Konrad von Gemmingen (1561-1612). The Nuremberg pharmacist Basilius Besler (1561-1629) was also involved in the conception and supervision of the green area on the bastions of #Willibaldsburg castle. In 1613, he published an impressive work, the Hortus Eystettensis, which was intended to make the botanical garden known to a wide audience. In three large-format volumes, over 1,000 beautifully colored copperplate #engravings present the native and exotic plants in impressive beauty and botanical accuracy. One of the rare and best-preserved first editions of this magnificent botanical work is kept in the Eichstätt University Library.
