This important work was very popular and appealing in medieval times, and even today retains its ability to communicate directly with the reader through its vivid images. Here, under the editorship of Franco Mario Ricci, Ibn Butlan's manuscript has been reissued. The three volumes include 412 brilliantly colored reproductions, each hand mounted, with explanatory text translated into modern Italian.
