Hartlieb's subject is plants, mostly herbs, and their medical uses, presented in a richly decorated book unlikely to be used by doctors or pharmacists of the time.
These botanical presentations from Kräuterbuch have a bold simplicity that resonates with visual aesthetics in the current era, reminiscent of a renaissance equivalent of flat design.
Each chapter of the Kräuterbuch follows a traditional system of botanical classification derived from the Greek philosopher Theophrastus.
