A garden ofthis character was founded in 1309, at Salerno, and another inVenice in 1330. In 1309 the Benedictine monks founded an acad-emy called Civitas Hippocratica at Monte Cassino, in Campania,which appears to the writer to be among the earliest, if not thefirst, school of medicine, and established in connection with it a physics garden.

It is interesting to note that the laboratory methodof handling the course in cognitio simplicium was not intro-duced until the establishment of the botanic garden at the Uni-versity of Padua, when, in addition to the ]ectures, exercises inthe demonstration of remedial plants growing in the garden weregiven under the title of ostencio simplicium. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries witnessed the founda-tion of many gardens in England, France, Germany, Holland, andSweden, some of which have had a continuous existence to thisday. The garden of Bologna was founded in 1568; Leyden, 1577;Leipsic, 1579; Montpellier, 1596; and Paris in 1597.
