The Debrecen Book of Plants and Animals, a fifteenth-century manuscript in the Library of the Reformed Theological University in Debrecen (Hungary), is the only illustrated German tranlsation of the most broadly disseminated corpus of herbal medicine from the Latin Middle Ages. The facsimile (with pen-and-ink drawings of exceptional quality) has a facing-page edition and translation, and is preceded by essays on the Latin source transmission, the translation, and the medical and pharmacological implications of the illnesses and their treatment in the context of medieval medicine.
