1529 GREEK Theophrastus BOTANY Philosophy Metaphysics Causes of PLANTS Botanical

“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.”

― Theophrastus

Theophrastus was a 4^th-century BC Greek philosopher known for his studies in metaphysics and logic of Aristotle and Plato. One of his remaining works was ‘On the Causes of Plants’, an extensive botanical treatise. In fact, this work is considered to be one of the most important works of botany from the middle ages. Theophrastus describes plant growth, instruction on planting and harvesting, soils and fertilizers, farming tools, and the medicinal properties of many plants.

This 1529 edition of Theophrastus’ ‘Plants’ was published in Lutetia, or Paris, by Christian Wechel.
