Getruckt zu Franckfort am Meyn, Bei Christian Egenolffe Erben in Jar MDLXIIII [1564].

Adam Lonicer (1528 – 1586) completed his title as follows: Auch von Metallen, Gummi, und gestandenen Saefften. Sampt Distillierens Künstlischem und turzen bericht. Mit fleissigen volkommenen Registern in Sechserley Spraachen, Nemlich, Greichish, Lateinish, Italianish, Franzoeisch, Spanisch, teutsch. Auch besonderm Register der heylung allerhand gepzesten. Jessoganz von newem durchsehen, gebessert, und mit mehren Breutem und figuren erstreckt.

(A translation of the title: A Herbal, Artistic Pictures of Trees, Shrubs, Hedges, Herbs, Grains, Spices with Appropriate Description of the Names of the Same in Six Languages, Namely Greek, Latin, French, German, and Italian & the Form of the Natural Force & Operations of the Same Together, With a Helpful and Good Account of the Art of Distilling. Also of the Leading Animals, Birds, and Fishes of the Earth – also of Metals, and Precious Stones, Gems, Juices or Liquors …)

Second German edition, the third edition after the first Latin 1551 and the first German 1557. This is a hand-colored copy. The title page has been repaired. The following folia are missing: I – XIII; XIV, XV and XVI; XIX, XXIV; XXXII, XXXV; XXXVI; XXXVIII; XLIII; XLIV; XLVII; XLVIII; XLIX; LVII; LVIII; LXXII; LXXIX, a total of 31. By comparison to the 1598 edition with 382 folia, this copy has 322. The 1557 edition, probably the German first edition, has 342 folia. This copy lacks the sections on distilling and mining.

This book was trimmed and rebound, probably in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, in vellum, now scratched, but still a tight functioning binding. The top of the spine is cracked but not chipped (about 4 cm from the top). The book measures 28 cm x 17.5 cm x 5.5 cm. This copy bears all the signs of a much-used copy, including marginalia and a doodle of a boring professor (?) on F 265. Each folio is illustrated. The woodcuts are probably by Hans Weiditz. Even with the above exceptions noted, this is still a good working, hand-colored copy, printed on heavy laid paper.

Paris:: Arthus Bertrand, [1840-55]., 1840. Atlas folio (in sheets). 55 x 35.5 cm. 10 lithographic plates with drawings by Louis Bevalet & lithographed by Muller [and] Himely (engr.), 2 additional maps or charts. With the original printed wrapper chemise. Wrapper is a bit worn. Plates are in excellent condition. Very good. First printing, extremely rare, of the unfinished publication of Gaimard expedition, containing what is often missing from the main body of the expedition report (probably due to the size of the plates and their non-bound format?). It seems Rudolph Ackermann (1764-1834), the famous lithographer from London, may have also been involved in the production of these plates as his name is on the plates themselves. / Gaimard, a French naval surgeon and naturalist, built an observatory at Bossekop, Finnmark, where he made his scientific observations of the Arora Borealis. There were 10 striking lithographs used to illustrate the Atlas geologique, among the most impressive astronomical… Read More

Description:
Halifax & Huddersfield: Printed For The Author. 1788-89. First Edition of "the earliest British work devoted exclusively to fungi" (Henrey II p. 136). A supplementary volume, not present here, was published in 1791. "About 220 of 231 [species] are easily identified, and have been accepted and quoted under various names in their works by subsequent European authors, as Persoon, Fries, Rabhenhorst, and others on the Continent, and by Berkeley, Cooke, Stephenson, and Massee in [Britain]. Many were species new to science, and others previously undescribed in Britain.Bolton describes his specimens with great acuteness, in clear, concise terms, and this.when they were little understood.'. (Crossland) About the author very little is known except that he was a self-taught naturalist and skilful artist, who was a friend and correspondent of the eminent naturalists of the day, including Peter Collinson, William Hudson, and Philip Miller.

Hardcover. Fine. 4to. Bound in 20th-century 1/4-vellum over marbled boards. Strasbourg: Matthias Schürer, July 1510. Second Strasbourg edition of Erasmus heavily annotated collection of Greek and Latin proverbs. Printed in Roman and Greek types. This is the original version, containing 818 adages, which is considerably shorter than the later expanded versions published under the title Adagiorum chiliades. (Adams E-420; Bezzel, Erasmusdrucke, 50; Van der Haeghen, Bibliotheca Erasmiana, p.25-6; Bibl. Belgica II, 276: no. E.61; Muller, Strasbourg II, p. 179, no. 45.) The Adagia could only have been possible in the new world of European education, in which careful attention to a broader range of classical texts produced a much fuller picture of the literature of antiquity. Its impact has been long lasting. Such popular expressions such as one step at a time, between a rock and a hard place, break the ice, an iron in the fire, looking a gift horse in the mouth, and many other sayings can trace their… Read More

Description:
United Kingdom, 1840. Book. Very Good. Leather. Original. 24 x 29.5 Cm. A collection of 43 very fine, early/mid 19th century, comparatively large (approximately 285 x 235 mm), original watercolour studies of different species of South African Ericas, each autographed with the species name. Housed in a red straight-grained morocco case with closing flap and the words "In Memoriam Madre Mia" (in memory of my mother). While there is no reference to the originator of these studies, they are executed in a style close to that used by Henry C. Andrews for his Monograph on the Genus Erica (1804-1812). The present watercolours do not correspond directly to those but the composition is similiar and it is possible they were executed by Andrews in connection with the publication. Notwithstanding, they are highly accomplished, reminiscent of the best botanical artists of the day. They are painted onto fine-textured card; this card for a number of paintings is blind embossed to the corners… Read More
