Barrelier, a French Dominican doctor who travelled widely through France, Spain and Italy collecting plants and shells on his way, wrote a history of plants entitled either Hortus mundi or Orbis botanicus. Although the manuscript was lost in a fire after his death, the plates intended for the work survived and were acquired by Jussieu, successor to Tournefort as professor of botany at the Jardin des Plantes, who arranged for their publication and compiled the accompanying text. Each botanical plate has four figures showing remarkable fidelity to life.
