Horti sicci Jacoba Breyne’a z 1659 i 1673 roku

Abstract

Jacob Breyne, who lived in Gdańsk in the 17th century, was one of the most important botanists in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was fascinated with the exotic flora and was also interested in the flora at home. Like many other botanists in Gdańsk in the 17th century, he planned to publish the work devoted to autochthonous plants of Royal Prussia and Kashubia, but his plans were interrupted by his death. In the collection of Naturalis Biodiversity Centre in Leiden there are preserved two of his horti sicci prepared correspondingly in 1659 and 1673, where specimens of indigenous plants from Gdańsk Pomerania were included. They are the oldest sources of this kind to be found in the territories of early modern Poland. The author of the article presents the botanic interests of Jacob Breyne in the Pomeranian local flora. The edition of the texts from the Leiden herbaria was enclosed.
