(6)Notes: These six prints are from the Phytanthoza Iconographia, which was based on Weinmann's own collection of plants and financed by him, it is one of the earliest works to use colour-printing from a single plate, and is a full record of the flowers, fruit and vegetables cultivated in the early 18th century; they were almost all originally painted by Georg Dionysius Ehret, however, the artist parted with Weinmann after producing 500 designs in a year and receiving only twenty thaler for his work, and his name does not appear on the plates - he went on to become one of the foremost botanical illustrators of his time.

Basilius Besler Das erste Florilegium Hortus Eystettensis, sive diligens et accurata omnium plantarum, florum, stirpium, ex variis orbis terrae partibus .. praesentatio. 4 Teile in 3 Bänden. Eichstätt und Nürnberg 1713 (d. i. um 1750). - Eines der schönsten Blumenbücher überhaupt - Beeindruckend großformatiger und umfangreicher Pflanzenkatalog des fürstbischöflichen Barockgartens in Eichstätt - Eines der Hauptwerke der botanischen Buchillustration - Vollständiges Exemplar auf unbeschnittenem Büttenpapier - Die schwarzweißen, großzügig gestalteten Kupfertafeln überwiegend in kräftigen Abdrucken 'The first great florilegium, splendid in its array of large drawings, magnificent as a record of the plants in a German garden in the beginning of the seventeenth century' (Allan Stevenson) Fünfte und letzte Ausgabe des botanischen Prachtwerkes, das 1613 erstmals erschien (zur Editionsgeschichte siehe ausführlich H.-O. Keunecke in Die Pflanzenwelt des Hortus Eystettensis, München u. a. 1998, S. 91ff.). Das Blumenbuch entstand auf Anregung des Nürnberger Apothekers Basilius Besler (1561-1629), der den Prachtgarten des Fürstbischofs Johann Conrad von Gemmingen betreute. Die um 1596 auf der Willibaldsburg bei Eichstätt begonnene Gartenanlage wurde bereits 1633 im Zuge des Dreißigjährigen Krieges wieder zerstört. Besler fertigte für den großformatigen Katalog Zeichnungen von mehr als 1000 aus aller Welt stammenden Pflanzensorten an, die in dem Prachtgarten kultiviert wurden. Der lateinische Text entstand unter Mitarbeit von Beslers Bruder Hieronymus und des Arztes und Botanikers Ludwig Jungermann. Die Kupfertafeln stammen von W. Kilian, R. Custos, Fr. van Hülsen, H. Ulrich u. a. und wurden für den Druck aller fünf Ausgaben des Werkes 1613-1750 verwendet. Die vorliegende Ausgabe war ursprünglich für das Jahr des 100-jährigen Jubiläums der Erstausgabe, 1713, geplant gewesen, wurde aber erst um 1750 von dem fürstbischöflichen Leibarzt Johann Georg Sthenander (gräzisiert für Starckmann) fertigestellt. Die Anordnung der Blumentafeln richtet sich nicht nach einer botanischen Klassifizierung, sondern nach der Blüte- und Reifezeit in den vier Jahreszeiten, entsprechend ist das Werk in vier Teile gegliedert. Die Tafeln sind auf dickem, unbeschnittenen Büttenpapier (Format 57,5-59 : 45-46 cm) gedruckt, auf der Rückseite befindet sich der lateinische Text (lediglich die zweite Tafel zu der zweiteiligen Darstellung einer Türkenbundlilie ist umseitig leer) mit der Lagensignatur unten in der Mitte. Wie auch das Vorwort von J. G. Sthenander wurde das Textblatt Frühling Ordo 2, Fol.17 - wie bei Baier und Keunecke beschrieben - auf weißerem Papier in kleinerem Format gedruckt und nachträglich eingebunden (ebenso das Bl. Frühling Ordo 3, Fol. 17 , das in diesem Exemplar fehlt). Die schönen, insgesamt 367 Kupfertafeln zeigen meist mehrere Sorten, darunter besonders prächtige, nahezu blattfüllende Darstellungen von Sonnenblume, Tulpen, Kaiserkrone, Türkenbundlilie (auf zwei Tafeln), Rosen, Feigenkaktus, Artischocke, Tomate, Aloe, Hibiscus, Aubergine, Paprika, Jasmin, Malven, Tabak u. v. m. Mit seinem beeindruckenden Format und Umfang sowie als editorische Unternehmung nimmt der Hortus Eystettensis in der Geschichte der botanischen Literatur des 17. Jahrhunderts eine Ausnahmestellung ein. Die prachtvollen Blumentafeln erfreuen sich aufgrund der Schönheit und Anschaulichkeit der Darstellungen auch heute noch so großer Beliebtheit, daß vollständige Exemplare des Werkes auf dem Markt selten zu finden sind.

In his Introduction to this work, Roberto Burle Marx - internationally renowned landscape architect and one of the first ecologists to call for the conservation of the Brazilian rainforests - recalls how Mee, on expeditions into the forest, possessed such keen instinct and observation that she would surprise the party by consistently finding the rarest species. Indeed, she discovered and recorded several species new to science, some of which are presented here for the first time. Foreword by Sir George Taylor, Director of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew from 1956-1971. Produced under the patronage of HRH. The Duke of Edinburgh.
