Bound somewhat tightly in later vellum over boards covers gilt-ruled spine gilt with morocco title pieces a.e.g. Some marginalia cropped at time of re-binding as well as 2 pages of manuscript annotations in Portuguese. Minor tear repaired at edge of title just touching woodcut border; some minor soiling but generally a fresh copy with dark strikes of the woodcuts.</p><p>Rare second Italian-language edition first 1522 of the <em>Herbarius latinus</em> important for the dissemination of botanical/medical knowledge in popular culture and particularly for the adoption of this originally German-printed Latin work for readers in the Veneto. The second section with 96 chapters includes information on laxatives aromatics fruits seeds gums and resins salts minerals goose-grease cheese honey ivory and much more. Anderson notes that this section probably contributed to the book's success: "It was concerned with the materials of medicine that were commonly available in the shops of apothecaries and spice merchants. Through the use of the <em>Herbarius</em> the average man could easily find what drugs to use and purchase them in most towns."</p><p>According to Anderson "the <em>Herbarius</em> sold as well in Italy if not better. There its second section may have contributed to its success for it was concerned with the materials of medicine that were commonly available in the shops of apothecaries and spice merchants. Through the use of the <em>Herbarius</em> the average man could easily find what drugs to use and purchase them in most towns. The second section has 96 chapters though many of them are very brief. They deal with the following: laxatives; aromatics; fruits seeds and plants of garden and orchard; gums and resins; salts; minerals and stones; and a variety of animals and their products such as goose-grease cheese honey and ivory" Anderson <em>Illustrated History of the Herbal</em> pp. 86-7. The last chapter CLI <em>de Vino e Aceto</em> is illustrated with a woodcut showing wine barels in a cellar. According to Hunt the woodcut on the title-page showing Saints Cosmos and Damian appears here for the first time.</p><p>Our copy has 2 full page and numerious marginal early 17th c. annotations in Portuguese mentioning Brazil in one case and giving the date of 1630 in another. There are two mentions of experiments in planting and cultivating cotton and ginger "brought from Brazil"--one of them dated 1643 f. aa6 r and f. Y6 r. In 1577 the Portuguese prohibited the cultivation of ginger in Bahia due to their interests in the India trade. However Bahian colonists ignored the law and continued to grow it selling it in secret to the Dutch and the English among others. The use of lead for treating bladder ulcers is also discussed f. Y6 r. Most curious is a recipe for avoiding and curing hemorroids by "Father Manoel da Anunciação Capuchino in the year 1630". The recipe involves frying small frogs in oil without salt "until the oil stops making noise. Once they are fried take them out of the oil and put the oil in a bottle and apply this liquid with your fingers on the bone and on the hemmorhoids and they will heal quickly" f.

189373Germany: 18th century. A charming fragment of a methodically organized collection A scientific compilation of dried plants each annotated with a Latin binomial and many with their seasonality; this selection comprises spring and summer samples. Such herbariums began to be compiled in the 16th century and many featured in "cabinets of curiosities". They were a tool used by the most influential natural philosophers of the day including Linnaeus Rousseau and Goethe. The box lettered "gewürzpflanzen" and "gewürz" was originally intended to house spice plants. The individual gatherings are numbered and the box reads "nicht voll" not full showing that it was an evolving project that functioned as a reference tool and is likely a surviving specimen of a now-separated larger private collection. Many of the samples are also annotated with reference numbers perhaps to a printed botanical catalogue owned by the compiler or to other parts of the now-scattered collection. "A botanist who came across an unfamiliar plant might send it as a herbarium specimen to a colleague for identification. By comparing dried plants it was possible to discover duplicates of the same plant but with different names. Such uses were possible only if the herbarium sheets were kept separate rather than being bound into books which also made it easier to rearrange their order as new ideas about classification were developed and tested" Allaby p. 61. Comprising 17 booklets individually sewn at folds page size: 212 x 139 mm samples affixed with thin strips of paper or copper contents annotated in black and green ink. Paper stock watermarked with snake on staff with double knobs and star countermarked "BB" perhaps referring to Beckh paper mill Göppingen founded 1747. Housed in contemporary card case with partially-obscured paper labels lettered "No 3" "Gewurz" and "Invatio ecum bot Tom VI. 708 ad pa". First leaf of single booklet and handful of samples not present paper lightly foxed else crisp; box worn and with some worming. Overall in very good condition.
