woodcuts of plants and distilling apparatus. Contemporary calf, gilt center piece on covers (repair to head and foot of spine). € 2300 Rare second French edition. The first French edition was published in 1555, also in Lyon. “This collection of recipes for medicines, the distillation of essential oils, and winemaking was first published under the pseudonym Eunymus Philiatrus. ( ‘A well-known friend of the art of medicine’) because Gessner considered it not quite up to his own exacting standards. It became, however, his most popular work and was translated into German, French, English and Italian” (Wellisch). ‘The book is an interesting account of Gesner’s knowledge of the chemistry of that day, dealing with distillation and apparatus, the plants to be distilled, and the cures to be effected’ (Hunt 76). Ownership inscription on title dated 1653 and some old notes written in the margin. A fine large copy. Wellisch A 32.15. 36 1 26 Herbst [26] HERBST, J.F.W. [Versuch einer Naturgeschichte der Krabben und Krebse nebst einer systematischen Beschreibung ihrer verschiedenen Arten]. Zürich, Berlin, J.C. Fuesssly/ Lange, 1782-1796. Oblong folio (295 x 465mm). Atlas only, containing 62 beautifully handcoloured plates. Old boards with recent spine. € 12.000
The complete atlas of the most spectacular work ever made on crustacea. Plate 31 is an original contemporary watercolour, the others are handcoloured engraved plates. The complete work has 3 text volumes which are not present here. Johann Friederich Wilhelm Herbst (1743-1807) was a German naturalist, theologian and a chaplain for the Prussian army. The work describes numerous new species and the figures are after specimens in Herbst’s collection, which at the present is the property of the Berlin Zoological Museum. According to Wilhelm <strong>Junk</strong> copies in original contemporary colouring are much scarcer than plain copies or copies with later colouring. “Doch sind nur noch Exemplare mit schwarzen Tafeln, die einen sehr geringen Wert besitzen, sowie solche mit dem ebenfalls erheblich schlechteren Neu-Colorit vorhanden, während prächtige Original-Exemplare wie das obige immer seltener und theurer werden” (<strong>Junk</strong>, Rara I, p.10).
