has founded a botanical garden that has been preserved within the oldest botanical garden in Europe ([@ref3]).

The foundation of botanical gardens has led to the publication of books in which authors described such a garden, as well as to the expansion of knowledge gained by collecting and cultivating herbs. In all countries of the world where science has been developed, pharmacists have contributed to the knowledge of local flora. **Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelsus)** (1494-1541), a Swiss-German physician, a naturalist and a Renaissance philosopher, wrote that healing herbs in each country were growing for treating their patients. Botany was not yet an independent discipline at that time but was in the service of medicine and pharmacy. In the sixteenth century, the pharmacy gardens grew more and more, andsanitatis or Hortus sanitatis made by a printing company **Jakob Meydenbagh**. It is based primarily on a manuscript of 1072 monographs of drugs, of which the 530 monograph deals with medicinal herbs, and the material was probably compiled by a German author around 1450 from easily available, mostly encyclopedic sources. The content is divided into half-alphabetic order, divided into five segments: herbae, animalia in terris, aves, pisces and lapidespretiosi. After the first edition there were several Latin copies (1497-1538) ([@ref3]).

Herbars, except in Latin and German, were soon printed in Dutch, French and Italian. Gart der Gesuntheit was also known as Herbarius zu Teutch (1485). In the year 1491, the extended version of Gart der Gesuntheit appeared under the title Hortus sanitatis. The French translation, called Arbolary, was published
