Gart der gesuntheit - Ortus sanitatis (Herbarius) 1485

"Gart der Gesundheit" ("Garden of Health"), a 1485 herbal by Peter Schöffer the Elder, features a woodcut illustration of a plant, "Sarrocoila", alongside two depictions of a lizard, "Hyrdine watler erbo" (water lizard), which were believed to have medicinal properties. This detailed, illustrated herbal, a type of book that describes plants and their uses, is a prime example of early printing and a glimpse into the history of medicine. The book can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
