This work delves into the evolution and foundational principles of botany, tracing the development of botanical science from the early herbals of the 16th century to more structured classifications in the 19th century. The text examines significant figures and milestones in botany, discussing the methodologies and ideas that shaped the understanding of plant life throughout this period. The opening of the book presents a thorough examination of the initial steps taken by early botanists, such as Otto Brunfels and Leonhard Fuchs, who primarily focused on practical plant knowledge for medicinal purposes. Sachs highlights the gradual shift from these rudimentary descriptions towards a more scientific approach, emphasizing the importance of detailed observation and classification methods. He argues that true scientific inquiry began to take shape as botanists moved beyond the superstitions and inaccuracies of earlier texts and began to recognize natural affinities among plants. This narrative sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of botany as a discipline, as Sachs aims to provide clarity on the complex historical developments within the field.
