Hortus medicus wrocławskiego lekarza, humanisty oraz kolekcjonera Laurentiusa Scholza (1552–1598) i jego padewskie parantele

Recent research challenges the traditional view of Laurentius Scholz's garden in Wrocław, revealing that its entire 240-species collection—previously thought to be divided between ornamental and medicinal plants—was primarily a hortus medicus. Only seven species lacked documented medicinal properties. This finding underscores the garden's dual purpose as both a decorative retreat and a repository of therapeutic flora, while also highlighting strong ties to Padua's historic Botanical Garden (Hortus medicus Pataviani). The study employed historical documentation and botanical analysis to reclassify Scholz's garden, offering new insights into Renaissance-era medicinal botany and cross-European scholarly networks.
