019134Cairo University Press 1954 - 1969. Four volumes. The first three volumes are duplicates from East Malling Research Station librray the only marking being a stamp on the half-title and shelf numbers on the spines very clean internally stoutly bound in a good red quarter leather and cloth binding. Volume Four is smartly bound in brown cloth. Overall quite an attractive set. The second volume has an inscriptin from the authors and was originally given the othe botanist F.W. Andrews. A heavy set - extra postage will be needed. The Flora not unexpectedly is an unusual work. It is a labour of love clearly carried out unhurriedly in the tradition of those great botanical scholars Tackholm would emulate. It has been hailed as a model of scholarship and completeness. One special feature is the detailed treatment of the extensive ancient Egyptian tomb flora; another is the attention paid throughout the volumes to agriculturally important plants and economic botany. Also the enormous bibliographies which provide access to the ancient and modern Arabic literature are gems" - extracted from Abraham D. Krikorian's obituary in "Nature". First Edition. Varying binding. Good. Cairo University Press Hardcover

The first Italian edition. Ferrari 1584 - 1655 was an Italian Jesuit and professor in Rome and a botanist. He devoted himself till 1632 to the study and cultivation of ornamental plants and published De Florum Cultura which was illustrated with copperplates by amongst others Anna Maria Vaiani possibly the first female copper-engraver. The first book deals with the design and maintenance of the garden and garden equipment. The second book provides descriptions of the different flowers while the third book deals with the culture of these flowers. The fourth book continues with a treatise on the use and beauty of the flower species including their different varieties and mutations. The plants featured in Ferrari's research came from Cardinal Francesco Barberini's private botanical garden the Horti Barberini a garden which was under the care of Ferrari. Several Cape bulbs are illustrated for the first time - most notably Haemanthus coccinea but also Amaryllis bella-donna Brunsvigia orientalis and Ferraria crispa. Hunt Library Catalogue rather downbeat in its comment - "The fame rests more on the quality of the engraved plates than on their contribution to botanical knowledge". Perhaps so but horticulturally I feel this is a fundamental work for its period. Nissen BBI 620; Pritzel 2877. Vellum. Good. Pier Ant Facciotti Hardcover
