This volume focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany
and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of
early modern garden art and garden culture. The many facets of the
mathematical sciences and botany point to the increasingly
"scientific" approach that was being adopted in and applied to
garden art and garden culture in the early modern period. This
development was deeply embedded in the philosophical, religious,
political, cultural and social contexts, running parallel to the
beginning of processes of scientization so characteristic for
modern European history. This volume strikingly shows how these
various developments are intertwined in gardens for various
purposes.
