Carolus Clusius in a New Context
Towards a Cultural History of a Renaissance Naturalist
edited by Florike Egmond, Paul G. Hoftijzer, Robert P. W. Visser
Carolus Clusius (1526-1609) was one of the most eminent botanists of the European Renaissance, and his influence on tulip breeding and the bulb industry can still be felt today. In
Carolus Clusius in a New Context, a distinguished group of contributors probes his role in both the botanical renaissance and the genesis of natural history as a field of study. Written from the perspective of the new cultural history of science, these interdisciplinary essays will fascinate anyone interested in natural history, landscape architecture, and Renaissance culture.
