176739389Paris: Briasson 1767. 8vo 3 vols. 7 11/16 x 4 5/8 inches. 36 571; 6 656; 6 290 286 1 pp. 30 engraved plates some folding. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards spines in six compartments with raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt with armorial crests in two compartments red edges. First and only edition of this comprehensive catalog of the Parisian curiosity collection of Pedro DÃ¡vila. Pedro Franco DÃ¡vila was born in Guayaquil in present-day Peru and studied natural sciences in Lima before moving to Paris in 1740. He took an interest in collecting around that time and over the course of 20 years he amassed the largest collection of natural history specimens in all of Paris. He sought to preserve it by establishing an institution in Spain but after King Carlos III rejected his request DÃ¡vila was forced to put the collection up for auction to settle the debts he incurred in building it. The DÃ¡vila catalogue as it became known was prepared as a sale catalogue when he sold the collection off in Paris prior to returning to his native Peru. Considering the size of the collection the sale became one of the major auction events of that time period and the catalogue was distributed widely in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basel. The catalogue describes 8096 mineral specimens from a broad range of places including Canada Mexico and Paraguay. It further describes over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps plus various scientific instruments and precious stones. It also lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. "DÃ¡vila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction through Balthasar Sage to the young RomÃ© de l'Isle that created this remarkable record of the collection. RomÃ© de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by AbbÃ© Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and AbbÃ© Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by RomÃ© de l'Isle probably with assistance from Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. "The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. RomÃ© de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc." The Mineralogical Record. DÃ¡vila was able to make more than enough to pay off his creditors and subsequently began to amass a second collection. Within three years in October 1771 King Carlos III agreed to accept this second collection and DÃ¡vila became the founder and first director of the Royal Cabinet of Natural History of Madrid now known as the National Museum of Natural Sciences where his specimens are still located today.

First and sole edition of this comprehensive catalogue of the collection of Pedro Francisco DÃ¡vila. The DÃ¡vila catalog as it has become known describes 8096 mineral specimens that encompass a large range of localities including a suite of specimens from PotosÃ in Spanish America as well as many items from Canada Mexico and Paraguay. In addition the catalog lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. Over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps as well as various scientific instruments and precious stones are also described. "Pedro Francisco DÃ¡vila possessor of the largest collection of natural history specimens in Paris and wishing to establish an institution in Spain to preserve it approached King Carlos III of Spain. But political difficulties and an approaching war with England distracted the king who declined the purchase. Because of debts incurred building the collection creditors forced DÃ¡vila to put the accumulation up for auction in Paris. For this purpose a detailed collection catalog was required. DÃ¡vila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction throughÂ Balthasar SageÂ to the youngÂ RomÃ© de l'IsleÂ that created this remarkable record of the collection. "RomÃ© de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by AbbÃ© Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and AbbÃ© Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by RomÃ© de l'Isle probably with assistance fromÂ Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. RomÃ© de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc. DÃ¡vila had been a collector for over 20 years when his accumulation was auctioned. In that time he or his agents had acquired specimens at other auctions including those that liquidated the collections ofÂ Albertus SebaÂ in 1752 the AbbÃ© Joly de Fleury in 1755Â Claude GeoffroyÂ in 1753 and others. DÃ¡vila's catalog received wide distribution in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basle. This helped push the total realized by DÃ¡vila to over 800000 Spanish reales more than enough to pay of his creditors and to finance a second collection which he immediately began to build. Within two or three years he had again amassed a sizable collection specializing in minerals and selected with more knowledge and experience than his first collection had been. Once again he dreamed of establishing the cabinet in Madrid. In October 1771 this became reality when King Carlos III agreed to take over his collections with DÃ¡vila serving as director for life. This enormous collection eventually passed into the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid where DÃ¡vila's specimens are still preserved today."The Mineralogical Record Conlon 67:1238; Nissen ZBI 1050; Sinkankas 1594; WilsonÂ History of Mineral Collecting 1994: 136-40 166 & 209 provides a detailed history of the collections M.
