Notizie del pubblico giardino de' semplici di Padova compilate intorno l'anno 1771

Giovanni Marsili

1727–1795

An 18th-century Italian botanist and physician, he helped shape the Botanical Garden of Padua and left behind a careful record of the plants cultivated there. His work sits at the meeting point of science, observation, and the rich natural history tradition of his time.
