This is the first scholarly treatise to tell the remarkable story
behind the making of the Flora Graeca, a monumental collection of
drawings and descriptions of plants in mainland Greece and the
Balkan Peninsula. Originally described by Diskorides in the sixth
century, the flora and fauna of the Balkan Peninsula were neglected
until the gentlemen botanists-naturalists John Sibthorpe and John
Hawkins, with the help of illustrator Ferdinand Bauer, travelled
the region and produced a class of paintings superior to anything
of their kind in existence then. These were to become one of the
most valuable treasures of the University of Oxford. Based on the
original diaries, letters, and specimen, this fine work is
illustrated with prints from the original illustrations which are
still housed at the Department of Plant Sciences at Oxford.
