Johann Hermann Knoop (1700-1769), carried out much of his botanical research whilst curator of the gardens of Princess Maria Louisa in Leeuwarden. He broke new ground in the study of fruit varieties and he is regarded as the father of pomology. The first two part are devoted to the kitchen garden, the first part is illustrated with 20 splendid full-page engraved plates with hand-colouring, 12 are apples, 8 of pears, all showing several varieties, each labelled with its time of ripening, many for species now lost. The second has 19 engraved plates with contemporary hand-colouring showing peaches, plums, cherries, berries, etc. Part three is devoted to the cultivation of the garden and was issued un-illustrated. The fruit monographs are among the earliest books on the subject to be illustrated with coloured plates. Knoop himself made the original drawings, which were engraved by Jan C. Philips (1700-1773) or Jacob Folkema (1692-1767). Landwehr, Dutch Books with Coloured Plates, 88 (I) & 92 (II); Nissen, 1078 (I) & 1077 (II); Pritzel, 4754-4755.

TM 466ELEGANT MANUSCRIPT CONTAINING TWO WORKS OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL EDIFICATION IN FRENCH TRANSLATION. Illuminated manuscript on parchment in French France after 1482 c. 1490. Dimensions 274 x 175 mm. 70 folios written in a Gothic <i>bâtarde</i> bookhand 18 large initials parti-colored in red and/or blue inserted leaf in first quire with FULL-PAGE HERALDIC COMPOSITION IN GOLD SILVER RED BLUE AND BLACK. BINDING: Bound in modern nineteenth-century blue velvet over wooden boards pink paper pastedowns and endleaves edges gilt. TEXT: Manuscript contains two works that reflect the spirituality of fifteenth-century Carthusians and their quest for the contemplative life. The first text <i>Sept fruits de la tribulation</i> is known in only five extant manuscript and is still unedited. A free French version probably dating from the fifteenth century of either the longer <i>Latin Tractatus de tribulacione</i> or an abridged adaptation of the French <i>Livre de tribulacion</i>. The second text<i> Miroir d'or de l'ame pecheresse</i> is a work of spiritual edification which consists of seven sections: on human misery sin especially lechery penance rejection of the world the vanity of human wishes death and hell and heaven. There is neither a modern critical edition of the second text nor a complete census of the existing manuscripts; the copy here was apparently made from an incunable edition of c. 1490. This manuscript begins with a remarkable added full-page illuminated frontispiece with the coat of arms and motto of Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century the abbot of Bonnevaux and Saint-Pierre de Vienne. PROVENANCE: Copied in France perhaps northeastern based on script and linguistic characteristics as well as internal evidence. It belonged to Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century. It then belonged Charles Chardin bibliophile. It was later a part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps 1792-1872 who has been described as the greatest private manuscript collector of all time. CONDITION: Gold slightly rubbed some off-setting from heraldic painted composition to opening text page slight staining in upper margin and into three lines of text ff. 68-69. Overall good condition.
