Johann von Wonnecke Caub or Johannes de Cuba (1430-1503), is the attributed author of an early printed book on natural history, first published in 1485, then revised and expanded in 1491. ==Publications== The book first appeared in German under the title of ''Gart der Gesundheit'' (1485), printed in the workshop of Peter Schöffer, then was translated into Latin and expanded under the title of ''Hortus sanitatis'' (1491), edited by Jacob von Meydenbach. Contrary to some historians, it is probably not a translation of ''Pseudo-Apuleius Herbarius'' (1484), but an original work of a much larger scope. It was translated into French in 1500 under the title of ''Jardin de santé : herbes, arbres et choses qui de iceuly coqueurent et conviennet a lusage de medecine''. ''Hortus sanitatis'' is divided into several treatises: *''De Herbis'', the best-known, deals with plants and their medical use. It has 530 chapters.〔http://www.rcpe.ac.uk/sites/default/files/library_papers/crowe/cuba/cuba-6.php〕 *''De animalibus vitam in terris ducentium'', which deals with land animals has 164 chapters. *''De Avibus'', which deals with birds (as the title suggests) and flying animals in general; as it also mentions bats and flying insects. *''De Piscibus'' has 106 chapters on fish and sea monsters (including mermaid illustrations).〔http://www.rcpe.ac.uk/sites/default/files/library_papers/crowe/cuba/cuba-15.php〕 *''De lapidibus'' has 144 chapters on gemstones. *''Tractatus de Urinis'' concerns the historic medical practice of uroscopy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johannes de Cuba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
