Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed history of horticulture from the ancient world to the Renaissance, highlighting the gardens of imperial Rome and discussing the ways in which medieval monasteries preserved and extended botanical knowledge. The author explores how the Crusades and the rise of trade with the Orient introduced new species and gardening techniques to Europe. Moving into the Renaissance, this book investigates the influence of humanism and the increasing popularity of gardening as both a science and an art form. Along the way, the author considers the lives and work of famous gardeners and the ways in which gardens have been depicted in literature and art. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how the history of gardening is not just a chronicle of horticulture, but also a reflection of the cultural and intellectual history of Western Civilization.
