Die Entdeckung des amerikanischen Kontinents im 16. Jahrhundert ging einher mit der Erkundung einer neuen botanischen Welt. Die Erforschung neuer Pflanzen liess in Europa das Interesse an Botanik erstarken und machte diese am Ende des Jahrhunderts zur Leitdisziplin. Dieser Band untersucht Strategien und Praktiken von Basler Gelehrten und Apothekern im Umgang mit botanischem Wissen und seiner Erzeugung. Die Autorin zeigt, wie die Beschaftigung mit der exotischen wie auch mit der lokalen Flora in Basel einen Boom ausloste und zu einer neuen Art der botanischen Kennerschaft fuhrte. Diese machte die Basler Botanik weit uber die Stadtgrenzen hinaus bekannt. Anhand eines vielfaltigen Quellenbestandes zeichnet das Buch ein differenziertes Bild des botanischen Basels um 1600. The discovery of the American continent in the 16th century was accompanied by the exploration of a new botanical world. Research into new plants fueled interest in botany in Europe and made it the leading discipline at the end of the century. This volume examines the strategies and practices of Basel scholars and pharmacists in dealing with and generating botanical knowledge. The author shows how preoccupation with exotic as well as local flora triggered a boom in Basel and led to a new kind of botanical knowledge. This made Basel botany known far beyond the city limits. Based on a diverse inventory of sources, the book draws a differentiated picture of the botanical Basel around 1600.
