The German master gardener Georg Meister (1653-1713) is one of the main characters responsible for a change in the European perception of Japan in the late 17th and early 18th century. Meister gained direct personal experience of the country during two short stays in the 1680s at the Dejima Island in Nagasaki while being employed by the Dutch VOC. Whilst an impression of Meister's earlier years can be gained, in part, from his masterpiece "Der orientalisch-indianische Kunst- und Lust-Gärtner" of 1692, this information is of only relatively small assistance in the further development of an understanding of Meister's later life in the Saxon city of Dresden, where he was employed as a gardener at the "Grosse Garten" after his return to Europe in 1689. In 1973 it was Friedemann Berger who first paid attention to the importance of Meister's later period. In his short biography are some valuable sources mentioned but unfortunately not quoted. This current paper documents some of the main sources relating to Georg Meister and his life in Dresden, including facts on his work and research, housing and death.
德国园艺大师格奥尔格·迈斯特（1653 - 1713）是17世纪末18世纪初欧洲对日本认知发生变化的主要人物之一。17世纪80年代，迈斯特受雇于荷兰东印度公司，在长崎的出岛短暂停留了两次，从而直接亲身感受了这个国家。虽然可以从他1692年的杰作《东方 - 印度艺术与娱乐园艺师》中部分了解迈斯特早年的情况，但这些信息对于进一步了解他1689年回到欧洲后在萨克森城市德累斯顿的晚年生活帮助相对较小，他回到欧洲后在德累斯顿的“大花园”担任园丁。1973年，弗里德曼·伯杰首次关注到迈斯特后期的重要性。在他简短的传记中提到了一些有价值的资料，但遗憾的是没有引用。本文记录了一些与格奥尔格·迈斯特及其在德累斯顿生活相关的主要资料来源，包括他的工作与研究、住房和去世情况等事实。
