Stirpium icones et sciagraphia
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Searches across multiple scholarly and general catalogs (UNESCO Index Translationum, Google Books, Open Library) for Dominicus Chabraeus and his work 'Stirpium Icones et Sciagraphia' (also known as 'Omnium stirpium sciagraphia et icones') returned no records of an English translation. The work is a 17th-century botanical compendium that served as an abridgment of Jean Bauhin's work; like many technical Latin herbals of the pre-Linnaean era, it appears never to have been translated into English.
