We would like to thank
the following institutions for providing support to the project:
LuEsther T. Mertz Library, New York Botanical Garden
The library of the New York Botanical
Garden has generously provided several items from its collection
of rare books concerning the history of landscape design. It is
one of the world’s largest and most important botanical research
libraries. Its diverse collections hold irreplaceable materials
that date to the twelfth century as well as electronic resources
such as e-journals and searchable databases containing the latest
results of research and discoveries in plant science and modern
horticultural practice. The library and its collections serve both
as a scholarly resource and a general-public information center.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden Library
The rare book room of the Library
at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden has two Renaissance era print editions
of Piero de’Crescenzi’s Liber ruralium commodorum. A selection
of pages was photographed from these and have been included in the
Catena database.
Dumbarton Oaks
The Garden Rare Book Collection
of the library at Dumbarton Oaks has donated several digital images
of items from its collection, which focuses primarily on landscape
and garden history of the western world from the seventeenth century
to the present, with the greatest emphasis on the U.S. and Europe.
(Please note: The images from Dumbarton Oaks are currently not
included in the database, but will be available by January 2006.)
Morgan Library
The The Morgan Library
has given permission to use images of its fifteenth-century manuscript
of Piero de’Crescenzi’s Liber ruralium commodorum, the
most important medieval treatise on agriculture.
University of Virginia Libraries
Acting as consultants and providing resources and training, specialists
in digital media and visual resources from the Robertson
Media Center and the Fiske-Kimball
Fine Arts Library provided assistance in directing the technical
aspects of the project.
