Author Biography: Basilius Besler (1561-1629) was born in the German city of Nuremberg in 1561, where he studied botany, medicine and pharmacy. He was curator of the botanical garden of the prince bishop of Eichstätt, Bavaria, who was an enthusiastic amateur botanist, deriving great pleasure from his garden, which was the only European botanical garden outside Italy.
Work Hortus Eystettensis: Bishop von Gemmingen commissioned Besler to write Hortus Eystettensis to immortalize the plant content of his botanical garden in an illustrated book. Besler began work on this new project with the help of important painters and engravers such as Sebastian Schedel (1570-1628) and Wolfgang Kilian (1550-1612), among others.
