The first Hungarian herbalist book, based on Linnaeus's system. The idea was János Földi's, but due to his early death, he was only able to complete the zoological part. Using his manuscripts, Sámuel Diószegi and his brother-in-law, Mihály Fazekas, began to create the Hungarian botanical terminology.
