The Latin edition of this work mentioned the Lincean explorer, or microscope. This Italian translation of Ferrari’s work on flower gardens, published after Galileo’s trial in 1633, expunged any mention of the Academy of the Lynx. Ferrari, a professor at the Rome College (Collegio Romano), became the architect and planner of the Barberini family garden, the Horti Barberini, in Rome after Maffeo Barberini became pope Urban VIII in 1623. Unlike the illustrated herbals, this work emphasizes horticultural rather medical applications.
