Hunt specifies the double plate, "Prospectus Horti Romani," and the "Horti Romani brevis Historia, " both in v. 1, as among "the most valuable features of the book," noting that the claim is made that the garden dated from 1450, whereas the date of 1560 is usually given, to establish the Padua and Pisa gardens as the first botanical gardens of Italy.
