Notes: "Buchwald was the King's doctor. He was a skilled surgeon, and due to his friendship with the king, he was given the chair of medical professor at the university in Copenhagen. This profoundly changed medical studies in Denmark, where previously only theoretical doctors had taught surgery to the students. He also had a keen interest in botany and as professor of medicine, he was in charge of the great botanical gardens with its excellent section of medicinal plants. The moment he was put in charge, he began reforming the Botanical Garden, which did not please everyone. He also made the present work, which is a sort of descriptive catalogue of the Botanical Gardens, in which he organized the plants alphabetically and enhanced it with real specimens from the Garden."--Lynge & Son datasheet.

"The work first appeared with Latin text in 1720. and the year after in German translation, by his son [Balthasar Johannes de Buchwald]. Both versions appeared both with and witout the original plants, thus also as a mere printed catalogue. And copies vary."--Lynge & Son datasheet.

With specimens of the plants glued on blank spaces left for that purpose on some of the leaves.

"[M]ost of the copies of both the Latin and the German version were destroyed at the fire of Copenhagen [1728?]."--Lynge & Son datasheet.

Lib. copy with about 180 original, dried plants taken from the medical plants of the Copenhagen Botanical Garden: specimens of the plants glued on leaf blank space on some of the leaves, left for that purpose; about 10 specimens may have fallen out, but it is not certain that they were ever glued onto the leaf blank space.
