Hortus Romanus

Hortus Romanus juxta systema Tournefortianum is a Latin-language field manual consisting of eight volumes of one hundred botanical illustrations each.

Liberato Sabbati, Niccolò Martelli, and Costantino Sabbati were the authors; Giovanni Bouchard and Jean Joseph Gravier were publishers, and Cesare Ubertini was the artist.

The book is made of half vellum with paper-covered boards, and its spine was labelled as Hortus Romanus Tom.

Each page consists of a plate illustration with a Latin caption, though most also have the name of the plant in English and French.

[1] All of the illustrations in the folio are hand-colored botanical prints.
