Rare this had not been to auction since December of 1967 when it sold for $75000 until it sold for $55200 at the Haskell Norman sale 3/18/1998. Stillwell notes that this is the earliest scientific botany. A study of about 5 plants described according to a rather primitive classification which held however until the mid-sixteenth century. Its ninth section on the medicinal properties of plants"the earliest extant herbal except for fragments of a Greek herbal c. 35 B.C."is believed to have been added somewhat after Theophrastus's time. Known as the founder of scientific botany Theophrastus was born in Lesbos and was Aristotle's most highly regarded student and succeeded Aristotle as head of the Lyceum in Athens. He was a prolific writer yet only these two works survive as major works. His De Historia Plantarum described and classifies several hundred plants while the De Causis Plantarum is a work of etiology: exploring a number of topics including generation seeds and the effects of cultivation on wild species. The Historia divides plants into four main divisions: trees shrubs undershrubs and herbs. The translation is by Theodoros Gaza a Greek who became a leading figure in the Italian Renaissance. This translation was commissioned by Pope Nicholas V 1448-1455 a patron of scholars who wished to set up a library that included Greek texts in Latin. Bartholomaeus Confalonerius 2 Feb unknown books
