		Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566), born in Wemding, Bavaria, contributed significantly to much needed reforms in German medicine and pharmacy by producing the most beautiful and famous herbal, De Historia Stiripium (1542).
		Another extraordinary feature of Fuchs' Historia is that he generously recognized his indebtedness to his co-workers, draftsman Albrecht Meyer, engraver Veit Rudolph Speckleand, and block-cutter Heinrich Fullmaurer, and delightfully honored all three at the end of the book by including their portraits at work.
		Fuchs was forty years of age when this remarkably learned work was first published in 1542.

	Fuch's Great Herbal
		Leonhart Fuchs' De historia stirpium commentarii insignes (or, Notable commentaries on the history of plants) was first published in 1542.
		Fuchs did not actually know the geographic origin of the plant, and simply assigned it a name from Pliny that seemed appropriate: he called it the 'siliquastrum' (big pod) signifying a large, elongated fruit - Pliny's plant of this name, however, was not the same.
		In fact, Fuchs intended to write an expanded text of the work, but although he laboured on this for the last twenty-four years of his life, it was never published; the manuscript of this work (dubbed the 'Vienna codex') is in the Austrian National Library.

	University of Missouri Special Collections Featured Materials
		Leonhart Fuchs broke with tradition by becoming interested in illustrating plants as they looked in nature instead of using conventional (and often bizarrely inaccurate) representations.
		Fuchs’ interest in realistic representations accorded with the Renaissance ideal of naturalism, but it also served a practical purpose – he wanted his book to be a reference for his medical students and fellow doctors.
		While the images were cutting-edge for their time, Fuchs was not as revolutionary in the text, and his descriptions of each plant’s medicinal properties still draw largely on the writings of Greek and Roman authors such as Dioscorides, Galen and Pliny.

	GARDENS OF KNOWLEDGE: An Exhibit of Books About Botanical Gardens, Materia Medica
		The market potential of Fuchs' Neue Kreuterbuch, issued both in German and Latin editions in 1542, each with the same large illustrations, gave rise to more compact editions, such as this one, also published by Isingrin (but in Dutch).
		Fuchs' text brings together descriptions of medicinal plants from the great sources of antiquity - Dioscorides, Pliny, and Galen - along with more modern discoveries.
		The latter included maize, ironically identified as "Turkish corn." Practical considerations of producing the impressive, and expensive, woodcuts were honored by inclusion of portraits of the illustrators and the block cutter as well as that of the author.

	Patten 119 - Fuchs
		One of the best artists in Basel was solicited to prepare the botanical illustrations which even today are respected for their clarity and style.
		The author, Leonhart Fuchs, deplored the terrible state of medical practice during his lifetime, recognizing that a majority of the practicing physicians did not know their medicines.
		Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants.

	Leonhart Fuchs: De Historia Stirpium Commentarii Insignes
		Fuchs' imposing folio of "Commentaries on the history of plants" is widely considered to be the most beautiful herbal ever published.
		They are not copied from earlier manuscripts, as so often in the Dioscoridian tradition, but taken from life by three artists whose essential contribution Fuchs acknowledged at the end by including portraits of painter, draftsman, and engraver.
		Their 512 largely full-page woodcuts illustrate some 400 German and 100 foreign plants, and include the first published representation of maize - Fuchs called it "Turkish corn." The collaboration was so successful that Fuchs' Herbal was frequently reprinted or pirated in less costly and much reduced format for student or field use.

		Author biography: Born in Wemding in Bavaria, Fuchs was gifted with such natural intelligence that he attended the University of Erfurt at 13 years of age.
		Botanical interests: Fuchs’ studies on medicinal plants are particularly interesting for his analysis of plant nomenclature derived from the classical authors.
		From the phytographic point of view Fuchs is extremely interesting because his descriptions are realistic, while he is not important in the history of classification because he continued to use alphabetical ordering.
