It was translated into English in 1578 and called "A
Nievve Herball, or Historie of Plantes"

Lots of libraries have various editions of this in
English, Dutch, and French.

You can find this in these libraries:

Yale
Harvard
Library of Congress
Brigham Young Univ.
Univ. of Minnesota
Univ. of Syracuse
Univ. of Rochester, NY
Univ. of Chicago
Univ. of Calif. Berkeley
Stanford Univ.
Univ. of Iowa
Columbia
Temple Univ.
Univ. of Pennsylvania
Brown Univ.
Univ. of Michigan
Univ. of Florida
British Library

There is a library in Missouri that has this also, but
they are new to RLIN and are not on my list of RLIN
subscribers yet.

This book also has been translated into Japanese and
is called "Ensai Dodoneusu Somokufu"!
