Hand coloured botanical engravings by Jacques Barrelier.
A French botanist, Barrelier was born in Paris in 1606 and died 17th September 1673. He renounced the medical profession to enter the Dominican order. In 1646 he was selected as assistant of the general of the order on one of his tours of inspection, travelled through France, Spain and Italy, collected numerous specimens of plants and also founded and superintended a splendid garden in a convent of his order at Rome, where he remained for many years. He afterward returned to Paris and entered the convent in the rue St Honore. He left unfinished a general history of plants, to be entitled Hortus Mundi. The copperplates of his intended work and such of his papers as could be found, were collected and made the basis of a book by Antonine de Jus-sieu, Plantae per Galliam, Hispaniam et Ital-iiam obwervatae, etc. (folio, Paris, 1714)
