Testo corredato da centinaia di vignette, testatine, iniziali e finalini istoriati calcografici; diverse illustrazioni incise (I) legato con “Poesie liriche toscane”, inc. di Giovanni Battista Bonacina, Etienne Picart su disegni di Gregorio Tomasini; legatura in piena pergamena coeva semirigida, fioriture e lievi macchie di umidità e bruniture su alcune carte (in particolare pp. 89-92), segni di restauro su alcune carte. Molto raro, questo libro è uno degli esempi più impressionanti della produzione barocca italiana: sconosciuto ai compilatori della Bibliografia Romana: Boffito nomina il primo frontespizio inciso come registrato da Le Blanc, ma aggiunge che per loro un esemplare sarebbe stato introvabile. Prima edizione delle due opere, rilegate assieme e pubblicate postume, probabilmente è un omaggio a Cesarini stampato in tiratura limitata. L’autore è un cugino di Federico Cesi, studioso di legge e filosofia e appassionato di astronomia e matematica. Amico di Galileo e membro dell’Accademia dei Lincei, sollecitò Galileo a scrivere Il Sggiatore. I versi qui contenuti sono dedicati ciascuno a personaggi illustri dell’epoca (molti di loro membri dell’Accademia). Rossetti 1824 Very rare, this is one of the most impressive examples of Italian baroque book production: It was not known to the compilers of the Bibliografia Romana: Boffito mentions the first engraved title page as registered by Le Blanc, but it adds “We couldn’t find the edition”. First edition of the two works, issued together and posthumously published, with a life of the author included. This was probably a memorial to Cesarini published in a small number of copies. The author was a cousin of Count Federico Cesi and, after studies in law and philosophy, developed a passionate interest in mathematics and astronomy. He was friend of Galileo and Ciampoli and a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. He went on to urge Galileo to write Il Saggiatore. The verses here contained, latin and italian, are each dedicated to a notable contemporary (many of these were members of the Accademia).
First edition, folio (330 x 210 mm), 3 parts in one, [2], 36; [4], 70; [4], 87, [5]pp., three separate title-pages within border of type ornaments, 39 engraved folding plates of fruits, all with bright contemporary hand-colouring, several related notes in ink to front free-endpaper, cont. half calf, paper covered boards (peeled away from upper cover), uncut. Johann Hermann Knoop (1700-1769), carried out much of his botanical research whilst curator of the gardens of Princess Maria Louisa in Leeuwarden. He broke new ground in the study of fruit varieties and he is regarded as the father of pomology. The first two part are devoted to the kitchen garden, the first part is illustrated with 20 splendid full-page engraved plates with hand-colouring, 12 are apples, 8 of pears, all showing several varieties, each labelled with its time of ripening, many for species now lost. The second has 19 engraved plates with contemporary hand-colouring showing peaches, plums, cherries, berries, etc. Part three is devoted to the cultivation of the garden and was issued un-illustrated. The fruit monographs are among the earliest books on the subject to be illustrated with coloured plates. Knoop himself made the original drawings, which were engraved by Jan C. Philips (1700-1773) or Jacob Folkema (1692-1767). Landwehr, Dutch Books with Coloured Plates, 88 (I) & 92 (II); Nissen, 1078 (I) & 1077 (II); Pritzel, 4754-4755.

Edition originale et unique, rare, de ce document illustré de 12 tableaux hors texte dont 7 dépliants et un plan de plantation plié en fin. L'auteur qui signe "citoyen habitant cultivateur de Saint-Domingue" était une importante personnalité de l'île, régisseur de plusieurs grosses plantations dont celle marquis de Paroy. Ce document reprend et commente un mémoire qu'il avait adressé au ministère de la Marine et des Colonies en l'an VII (1799) pour convaincre les autorités françaises de l'intérêt de conserver et d'étendre le domaine colonial. La première partie "contient les bases d'un plan d'administration des plantations": cultures, gestion des terres et du personnel, organisation des résidences des cultivateurs, choix des cultures. Parmi ses recommandations, Avalle se prononce en faveur d'un "adoucissement de l'état des cultivateurs noirs". Dans la seconde partie, il livre le résultat d'une véritable enquête de terrain qui le conduit à rendre compte du "mouvement d'une sucrerie pendant une année", illustré de statistiques; suivi "d'observations (…) fondées sur le fruit [d'une expérience acquise] pendant plus de vingt années d'administration": nombre de cultivateurs, bâtiments et objets de manufactures, qualification des emplois, temps de travail….. Les Archives nationales et celles du Patrimoine de la Martinique conservent plusieurs documents de / et sur M.-A. Avalle qui témoignent de l'importance de sa position aux Antilles, de son activité, ainsi que de ses relations avec les autorités locales, dont Toussaint l'Ouverture.

Divisé en 8 parties, l'ouvrage traite de la culture de la terre, de la vigne, du blé, du bétail et de la volaille, du jardin potager et fruitier, et enfin de l'usage des aliments et des recettes pour les agrémenter.
