"The renowned LuEsther T. Mertz Library of The New York Botanical Garden counts among
its holdings many of the most beautiful and pioneering botanical and horticultural
works ever created. More than eight centuries of knowledge, from the twelfth century
to the present, are represented in the library's collection of more than one million
cataloged items. In this sumptuously illustrated volume, international experts introduce
us to some of the library's most fascinating works--exceedingly rare books, stunning
botanical artworks, handwritten manuscripts, Renaissance herbals, nursery catalogs,
explorers' notebooks, and more. The contributors hold these treasures up for close
