The digital version of Fuch's Botany of 1545 was created by Richard Siderits, M.D. The volume consists of a dedicatory letter, an alphabetical index (table of contents) listing plant names, and 516 woodcuts of plants, some colored. All pages have been scanned at very high resolution with a color scanner. Files are large, typically about 800K. Each image represents two pages of the book. Comments on the scanning project may be addressed to Dr. Siderits.
