The Vienna Dioscurides or Vienna Dioscorides is an early 6th century illuminated manuscript of De Materia Medica by Dioscorides in Greek. It is an important and rare example of a late antique scientific text. The 491 vellumfolios measure 37 by 30 cm and contain more than 400 pictures of animals and plants, most done in a naturalistic style.
