''This version has not been seen'' BAL. At least most of the plates were engraved for and first published in Jacob van Campen's masterpiece Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam Amsterdam Frederick de Wit 1664 Hubert Quiellinus's Prima et secunda pars praecipuarum . curiae Amstelrodamenis Amsterdam Frederick de Wit 1655-1663 and Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam in dartigh coopere plaaten . geteeckent door Jacob Vennekool Amsterdam Dancker Danckerts 1661.It includes the famous plate showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th century. The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Binding a little worn untrimmed otherwise in good condition.

1784273121784. Vienna apud Rudolphum Graeffer 1784 8° 428 12 pp. gestochene Titelvignette Portrait marmorierter Kalbsledereinband der Zeit mit Buntpapiervorsätzen und reichlicher Rückenvergoldung; blasser St.a.Tit. Second Edition first 1783 of what Simon considers: "An unusually interesting book of dietetics and cookery describing the qualities of every possible kind of food and drink plants fungi animals fats and oils condiments wines and spirits tea coffee . etc." The text is in Latin but the German nomenclature is included. Plenck is probably best remembered for his system of dermatological calssification explained in his Doctrina de morbis cutaneis of 1776 but his talents were extensive as can be witnessed in this less well-known work. The portrait is of Giovanni Alessandro Brambilla to whom the work is dedicated. This work was obviously also found unusually interesting when it was published the second edition appearing just a year after the first and apparently being a direct reprint of the first with just the date changed - in effect a second issue rather than a true second edition. Sehr schönes frisches breitrandiges wohlerhaltenes Exemplar mit reicher Rückenvergoldung. Marmorierter Kalbsledereinband der Zeit mit Buntpapiervorsätzen. Blasser Bibliotheksstempel auf dem Titelblatt. Joseph Jacob von Plenck 1738-1807 war während des 7jährigen Krieges als Regiments-Chirurg tätig. 1770 wurde er Lehrer der theoretischen und praktischer Chirurgie an der neu errichteten Universität Tyrnau ab 1777 in Ofen wo er auch die Fächer Botanik und Chemie lehrte. Gleichzeitig war er Direktor der Feldapotheken und Sekretär der med.-chir. Josephs Akademie in Wien. Plenck war einer der fruchtbarsten medizinischen Schriftsteller seiner Zeit.
