Collation: 16 576 70 p. engraved frontispiece and 36 woodblock prints in text or singly. The frontispiece has allegorical figures in a garden with arms of the University of Bologna. Bottom of spine repaired with new vellum. The internal condition is very good. This is a very scarce title from an Italian botanist and brother of naturalist Batolomeo Ambrosini. He succeeded his brother to the chair of botany at the University of Bolognia and also assumed direction of the botanical garden. His first work was Hortus Bononia studiosirum consistus which was followed posthumously with the Phytologiae offered here. The Phytologiae was intended to be the first of a two-volume dictionary of plants with the second to be on trees. The second volume was never completed. The woodcuts in this work on herbaceous plants were done by Tinti and provide a good working illustration for the plant described in the text. This very scarce work comes from a period of great botanical study and characterization in Italy. The genus Ambrosinia is named after the two brothers. Hunt 303; Pritzel 132. <br/><br/>This very scarce work comes from a period of great botanical study and characterization in Italy. The genus Ambrosinia is named after the two brothers.

17464811Madrid: Zuniga 1746. 1st edition. Quarto 23 leaves 168 pp; 4 leaves 96 pp. Both of the superb copper-engraved frontispieces are present. Boturini an Italian who came to Mexico in 1736 from Spain and became enamored of the cult of the Virigin of Guadalupe. He became a hermit on the hill of Tepeyac for a time and also conceived the idea of writing a history of the pre-conquest indians of Mexico. He was fluent in Najuatl travelling around and collecting an amazing coll ection of early and original indian material for a number of years. This excited the suspicion of the Viceroy who had him arrested and sent to the Inquisition in Spain for imprisonment. His ship was captured by English pirates but he was finally put ashore at Gibraltar. His priceless collection was confiscated and dispersed over many years. He was exonerated in Spain and even honored by an official post as Historian of the Indies but never was able to get possession of his collection. This is a very nice copy clean and crisp; the binding looks to be Mexican early 19th century half red leather with decorative flourishes on the spine over black pebbled boards. <br/><br/> Zuniga hardcover books

18046393Lendinara: Dalla tipografia Michelini 1804. Original edition. Very Good/A rhapsody written for the appointment of one Lodovico Bonardi to head the monastery attached to the Chiesa della Santissima Trinità in Monte Oliveto in central Verona. The verses by the abbot Lorenzo Mischiati bear affinity with Dante's Paradiso but also with the lyrics of the 20th-century popular song Volare: the poet takes flight into the upper spheres and sees beautifule "sisters" as well as genies and heroes who sing the praises of the new abbot. Inconsequential to be sure but interesting and bound in extraordinarily lovely wraps. Octavo 17 cm; 16 pages. In woodblock-printed floral-patterned wraps in red white and green coloring hand-finished. Dalla tipografia Michelini paperback books
