1751017563Stockholmiae & Amstelodami: Kiesewetter Godofr & Chatelain Z 1751. Latin text. Engraved frontispiece But see notes below octavo title page dedication page lectori botanico page 362 pages 9 engraved plates 2 full page engravings a little age-toning the occasional blemish or small mark the title page is a bit creased and stained in the gutter margin and there is offsetting from the frontispiece. which is chipped and with a closed tear repaired and mounted on a paper stub. Bound in possibly original marbled paper and more recent half calf slightly worn. Soulsby 437. The frontispiece is often lacking but the one we have here is not the usual frontispiece ! It is possibly a little smaller than the page size though this is not certain as it has been repaired and mounted; the offsetting to the title page which is obviously of some antiquity is definitely from the plate currently bound in. So - is it a variant or has it been added by a previous owner Interestingly I can only find one copy of this particular image online in the Wellcome Collection R. Burgess Portraits of doctors & scientists in the Wellcome Institute London 1973 no. 1778.10 ; listed as by Gustav Lundberg. It is "the first textbook of descriptive systematic botany and botanical Latin". It also contains Linnaeus's first published description of his binomial nomenclature. Philosophia Botanica represents a maturing of Linnaeus's thinking on botany and its theoretical foundations being an elaboration of ideas first published in his Fundamenta Botanica 1736 and Critica Botanica 1737 and set out in a similar way as a series of stark and uncompromising principles aphorismen. The book also establishes a basic botanical terminology. RARE. First Edition. Half Leather. Good. Kiesewetter, Godofr & Chatelain, Z Hardcover

This is perhaps the most handsome and influential botanical of its day with its near-dreamlike depiction of plants suspended above cityscapes and other backgrounds.<br /><br />Munting 1626-1683 was a Dutch botanist and botanical artist the son of Henricus Munting 1583-1658. He studied under his father and at the universities of Franeker Utrecht and Leiden also spending two years in France where he obtained an M.D. degree in Angers. Returning to Groningen in 1651 he joined the staff at the Rijkshogeschool Groningen which eventually became the University of Groningen. Here he taught for 24 years as professor of botany and chemistry. On his father's death he assumed management of the Hortus Botanicus Groninganus from 1658 to 1683. His botanist friends sent him seeds from the Dutch East- and West Indies Africa and the Americas. His daughter Hester died after eating Deadly Nightshade from the Garden. Munting subsequently developed a particular interest in the medicinal uses of plants.<br /><br />The present work Munting's best known was first published in Dutch as Naauwkeurige Beschryving Der Aardgewassen 1696. Illustrated were trees shrubs flowers and grasses of temperate zones with some tropical and subtropical plants that had been introduced to the Netherlands.<br /> Nissen BBI 1429; Hunt 404.
