Buffon (1707-1788) est surtout notoire pour son Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière, avec la description du Cabinet du Roy, rédigée sur près de 50 ans, à Montbard d'abord dans son cabinet et à la Tour Saint-Louis, puis en sa bibliothèque du Petit Fontenet en 36 volumes parus de 1749 à 1789, plus huit autres après sa mort, grâce à Lacépède. Il y a inclus tout le savoir de l’époque dans le domaine des « sciences naturelles », appellation large regroupant aussi des disciplines qui ressortent aujourd'hui de la science des matériaux, de la physique, de la chimie ou de la technologie. C’est dans cet ouvrage qu’il relève les ressemblances morphologiques entre l’homme et le singe, quoi qu'il pense ceux-ci dénués de pensée, ce qui les diffère profondément de l'Homme. L'édition Duménil que nous proposons ne contient pas les poissons et autres suppléments de Lacépède etc. Très bel exemplaire dans une très jolie reliure romantique décorative et solide de l'époque.

In-8°, XXXII, 176pp, 24 tavole, legatura in pelle piena, con nervi e titolo al dorso in oro, buone condizioni. Si tratta del primo volume e l’unico pubblicato. Sacerdote, studiò nel Collegio dei Gesuiti; naturalista e botanico ma anche astronomo e metereologo, raccolse un ricco museo di Storia naturale in cui confluì anche quello di P. Tommaso Maria Gabrini; direttore della Specola Vaticana dal 1800 fino alla morte, anni durante i quali fece osservazioni metereologiche due volte al giorno, seguì anche i lavori per il rifacimento della torre Gregoriana e si occupò di proteggere con un sistema di parafulmini la Basilica Vaticana. Insieme a G. Xuarez creò l'Orto Botanico Vaticano-Indico, pubblicando le Osservazioni Fitologiche (1789-92) che gli meritarono la stima dei botanici H.Ruiz e J.Pavon i quali diedero ad un genere della Famiglia delle Polemoniacee, piante tipiche degli habitat desertici dell'America, il suo nome (cfr. Descripciones y láminas de los nuevos géneros de plantas de la flora del Perú y Chile por Don Hipólito Ruiz y Don Joseph Pavon,.... Madrid 1794, Gilia p.25). Fu socio di diverse accademie: gli Apatisti di Firenze, i Georgofili di Treja, Corneto e Foligno, i Volsci di Velletri, i Soci agrarii di Torino, gli Accademici Italiani, Arcadi, Aborigeni, i Lincei di Roma; lasciò diversi manoscritti che si conservano in Vaticana, fra i quali un' opera sui parafulmini e una vita di Nicola Zabaglia, mastro pontiere alla Fabbrica di S.Pietro. Nella cappella del S.Crocifisso all'Aracoeli dove riposa, lo ricorda un'epigrafe dettata dall'amico Abate Francesco Cancellieri: cfr.

This is the first and only published volume. Priest, he studied in the Jesuit College; naturalist and botanist but also astronomer and meteorologist, he collected a rich museum of natural history which also brought together that of P. Tommaso Maria Gabrini; director of the Vatican Observatory from 1800 until his death, years during which he made weather observations twice a day, he also followed the works for the reconstruction of the Gregorian tower and took care of protecting the Vatican Basilica with a system of lightning rods. Together with G. Xuarez he created the Vatican-Indico Botanical Garden, publishing the Phytological Observations (1789-92) which earned him the esteem of the botanists H. Ruiz and J. Pavon who gave a genus of the Polemoniacee family, typical plants of America's desert habitats, its name (see Descripciones y láminas de los nuevos géneros de plantas de la flora del Perú y Chile por Don Hipólito Ruiz y Don Joseph Pavon, .... Madrid 1794, Gilia p.25) . He was a member of several academies: the Apatisti of Florence, the Georgofili of Treja, Corneto and Foligno, the Volsci of Velletri, the Agricultural Partners of Turin, the Italian Academics, Arcadi, Aborigeni, the Lincei of Rome; he left several manuscripts that are in the Vatican, including a work on lightning rods and a life by Nicola Zabaglia, master bridge master at the Fabbrica di S. Pietro. In the chapel of the S.Crocifisso all'Aracoeli where he rests, an epigraph dictated by his friend Abate Francesco Cancellieri reminds him: cf.

Legatura in pelle verde con nervi e titolo in oro al dorso. Seconda edizione di uno dei più antichi lavori di zoologia sistematica mai pubblicato in Inghilterra, il lavoro di Pennant si basava sull’osservazione di corrispondenti scientifici europei e americani, e sui suoi studi condotti su collezioni private e musei. Le numerose tavole illustrate includono, in particolare nel secondo volume, diversi animali estinti. L’opera era originariamente concepita come una ricognizione della zoologia del Nord America, ma fu poi ampliata con le descrizioni di fauna europea e asiatica al di sopra dei 60° di latitudine Nord. "The content of the volumes, one of the earliest works of systematic zoology published in Britain, is based on the writings of earlier zoologists, information obtained by Pennant from his scientific correspondents all over Europe and America, and his studies in private museums and collections. It is embellished with engravings of animals, birds, landscapes and artefacts. Volume 2 deals with land and water birds, including some, such as the passenger pigeon, which are now extinct." (Cambridge University Press, 2014) “The work, which must be regarded as the most prominent of Pennant’s works, was originally planned as a sketch of the zoology of North America, but was later enlarged with the addition of descriptions of the quadrupeds and birds of the parts of Europe and Asia lying north of latitude 60 degrees N” (Anker 397)
