From the introduction: ".the collection of botanical books which Arpad Plesch built up for the Stiftung fur Botanik is particularly strong in books on medical botany and the botany of Hungary.Dr. Plesch conceived the foundation not only as a repository for rare books but also for rare plants and the Essais d'Acclimatation de Plantes tropicales en France 1962 by Pierre Gossot shows how successful he was with this latter interest. The library is not only a magnificent collection from the bibliographical point of view but also the working library of a serious botanical garden; and this dichotomy is reflected in the books. Those in this first portion include the only complete copy recorded of a luxury work produced for the children of Philippe Egalite lot 12 the dedication copies of books by Colonna and Gouan lots 141 & 297 a copy of the Nouveau Duhamel bound for the Emperor of Austria probably at the instance of his son-in-law Napoleon lot 230 the hitherto unrecognised first edition of a celebrated Italian floral work lot 259 a book bound for presentation by the dedicatee King of the Two Sicilies to his daughter the Queen of Spain lot 308 and long runs of books illustrating the history of botany Adanson Bonnet de Vries Goethe and Grew and the changing fashions of botanical illustration Andrews Bauer Blackwell Bui Hard Curtis Edwards Redoute lots 182 230 and others and Weiditz lot 97.
