Cordus, Valerius. Born a.d. 1515 at Erfurt, professor of materia medica in the University of Wittenberg, then the most eminent man in that science. After his premature death, at Rome, in 1544, his works were published by Conrad Gesner, in a large volume printed in 1561 at Strassburg. It contains: (1) Valerii Cordi Annotationes in Dioscoridem; (2) Historiæ stirpium libri iv.; (3) De artificiosis Extractionibus, and several other papers of V. Cordus, besides the most remarkable book, De Hortis Germaniæ, by Conrad Gesner himself. A very careful biographic notice on Cordus is due to Irmisch, Einige Botaniker des 16 Jahrhunderts ... Sondershausen, 1862. 4°. pp. 1-34.
