Cobres) by the German engraver and publisher is considered the "most extensive and widely useful collection, owing its existence solely to him [Ridinger]" (cf. Thienemann). It includes a sequence of zoologically themed plates which "are highly sought after and often copied" (cf. Thienemann), showing animals in their characteristic actions and surroundings. Part one presents sporting dogs, while part two treats wild animals, such as lions, tigers and aurochs. Parts three and four cover "principal animals of the chase" (Schwerdt), namely aurochs, bears, stags, boars, deer, ibexes, chamois, lynxes and wolves. "Lesser animals of the chase" (Schwerdt), like foxes, rabbits, badgers, otters, beavers and squirrels are included in the fifth part. Two additional parts, showing horses, mules and donkeys, would be issued until 1755. - Contemporary bookplate of Count Ladislaus Kemeny to the patterned pastedown.

Large 4to. 2 parts in one volume. (8), XXXIX, (1), 307, (1) pp. (4), 309-633, (3) pp. With woodcut vignette to both title pages, several woodcut illustrations in the text, and printer's device on last leaf. Fine contemporary French éventail leather binding. Wants ties. Second, posthumous edition. Previously, Montebruni (1597-1644) had published his "Ephemerides" for the years 1640-45 and 1645-60. "D'apres les tables de Lansberg, pour le méridien de Bologne. Dans la part I de la publication, il y a un catalogue d'étoiles, réduites à 1630" (Houzeau/L.). - Edges, corners and spine-ends professionally restored. Sumptuous giltstamped éventail-style binding: double borders of a narrow zig-zagging design and a wider rosette-and-flower-design within floral braces and double fillets enclose a large central compartment, the corners of which are occupied by round-headed pointillé fans emanating from tendril corner stamps. The same éventail stamps form an elaborate central rosette with tendril stamps at top and bottom ends. The empty space in between in filled in by intricate tendril and dentelle blindstamping. The various elements of the design are starkly set off by empty quarter-inch fillet borders enclosing the corner éventails with quadrants and the central rosette with a lozenge; the tendril infilling is structured by the same blank borders forming a cross, thus dividing the cover into four richly tooled, mirroring quarters. The spine is framed by the same zigzag and floral borders as the covers, enclosing a narrow blank border and a finely tooled dentelle and semi-rosette design echoing the cover infilling. - Title page bears 1772 ms. note of ownership by the Capuchin monk Giovanni da Cento, who introduced the volume to his monastery's library in Cento (Emilia-Romagna). Later in the library of the Swedish collector Thore Virgin (1886-1957) with his repeated signature (dated Stockholm, 16 May 1914) and his bookplate (dated 1911) and collection stamp ("Bibliotheca Qvarnforsiana").

Madrid, Imprenta del Memorial de Ingenieros, 1884. Folio; 48 pp. Ejemplar sin lámina. Cubiertas mudas en papel.
Folio (260 x 382 mm). (6), X, 244 pp. With engraved title vignette, 4 engravings in the text, and 8 folding engraved plates (all in original hand colour, some raised with mineral dust). Contemporary marbled boards with green spine label. All edges red. First edition of this famous, splendidly illustrated monograph on mining; also the first geological study of Germany's Harz region. Contains details on mineralogy, fossils, lodes, and mines, as well as "some excellent early observations on chemical geology; obviously inclined to afford those slow and inconspicuous changes in the earth crust the importance that they really deserve" (ADB). Also remarkable for the fine vignettes, engraved by G. M. Kraus after drawings by F. H. Spoerer. These vignettes, as well as Goethe's contributions to the entire work, are discussed extensively in Schmid, "Goethe und die Naturwissenschaften", no. 414f. Trebra (1740-1819) accompanied Goethe on his journey over the Harz and remained his advisor in mineralogical matters throughout his life. The plates, some of which are raised with ore dust, are based on drawings now in the Goethe-Nationalmuseum in Weimar. - Binding slightly rubbed and bumped along the raised bands; otherwise a very clean, crisp copy on superior paper. Includes the second illustration to plate V (Vb, mounted); the window in plate 2, providing a view of the lode in plate 3, lacks the flap as usual. Provenance: from the library of Pfannberg castle in Styria, bearing the stamp of the Austrian industrialist Franz Baron Mayr von Melnhof (1810-89, owner of the Donawitz ironworks and the Kapfenberg steel foundry) on pastedown and title.

XX, 108 SS. Zeitgenössischer blaugrauer Halbleinenband mit Marmorpapierbezug. 8vo. Dritte Ausgabe. - Der Bildhauer Johann Martin Fischer (1741-1820) wurde 1785 Mitglied der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien und übernahm im folgenden Jahr als erster Nichtmediziner die dortige Professur der Anatomie. 1815 wurde er Rat und Direktor der Allgemeinen Rat- und Bildhauerschule und mit seinen Brunnenplastiken am Wiener Graben neben Franz Anton Zauner der bedeutendste Bildhauer seiner Zeit in Wien (vgl. DBE). Sein Hauptwerk in diesem Zusammenhang ist die lebensgroße anatomische Statue, die er für den Lehrbetrieb an der Akademie schuf und die schnell zu einer der vielbewunderten Sehenswürdigkeiten Wiens wurde. Seine "Erklärungen" sind als Nachschlagewerk und Lehrbuch in Anatomie für Künstler gedacht, das als Standardwerk weit über den Tod Fischers hinaus Anwendung fand. - Schönes Exemplar mit den dekorativen Stempeln der "K. K. Infanteriecadetenschule zu Agram" und der "K. K. Infanterie-Kadettenschule zu Karlstadt" am Titelblatt, die ihrerseits als interessantes Zeugnis der Breitenwirkung des Werkes Zeugnis geben.
