Written by Scottish physician Robert Sibbald, “Scotia Illustrata” is a thorough and complete history of animals, plants, herbs, fish and geology in Scotland. Much of this work pertains to the medical properties of many plants and herbs with numerous references to Hippocrates and Galen. The illustrations found at the end of the 1684 first edition make it incredibly valuable – in fact, it is rare to find this work with all 22 engravings intact. The illustrations of fish are the most desirable!
