AMERICANA / BOTANY / MEDICINE/. MONARDES Nicolas.
VERY RARE FIRST EDITION 1565 <br> INFLUENTIAL EARLY WORK ON AMERICAN BOTANY<br>Dos libros. El uno trata de todas las cosas que traen de nuestras Indias Occidentales que sirven al uso de medicina….
<p><b><i>"FOR MANY YEARS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON THE MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE NEW WORLD"</i></b></p><p>8vo 13.4 x 9.1 cm 132 ff. with woodcut border to title page and woodcut initials. Bound in later stiff vellum title stamped on spine gift inscription on the front flyleaf to a certain 'Carmen Ballina' dated 1922 now covered in paper. Only minor wear and rubbing to binding. 'Tassa' price of 51 maravedis entered in manuscript on title page as issued early signature of a certain 'Henrique Correa' at fol. aiiir the occasional contemporary annotation in the text minor occasional dampstaining very minor occasional marginal worming.<br /></p><p>Very rare first edition 1565 – virtually unacquirable for the past half century or more – of the first printed work devoted to the botanical and medicinal discoveries made in the Americas a treatise which through its later expansions and numerous translations would remain "for many years the most important work on the medicinal plants of the New World" Garrison & Morton. The <i>Dos libros</i> was written by the renowned physician Nicolás Monardes 1493-1588 in Seville then the center of the Spanish printing industry and the only port from which ships were authorized to sail to and from the New World. Born in 1493 in the very year Columbus returned from his first voyage Monardes thus both occupied a front row seat for first decades of the 'Columbian Exchange' and was ideally positioned to disseminate his findings to a wider European indeed global audience.</p><p>Monardes shared much with his contemporary Garcia d'Orta 1501-68 the Portuguese physician stationed in India and famed for his <i>Coloquios dos simples e drogas e consas medicinais da India</i> Goa 1563: "Just as d'Orta gave the learned world of the West the first accurate accounts of various Asian medicinal and commercial plants so did Monardes with those of America … Monardes like Garcia d'Orta has a strong claim to be regarded as one of the fathers of the science of pharmacognosy. Both of them compiled what were virtually complete monographs on many important items of our actual <i>materia medica</i> which were then unknown or only inaccurately known to the Western World Boxer pp. 23-24. Even the diffusion of these two authors throughout the learned world of early modern Europe shared a common source in the Latin versions made of them by the Flemish physician and botanist Charles de L'Ecluse Carolus Clusius 1526-1609 who published them together for the first time at Antwerp by Plantin in 1574 and afterwards.</p><p>Monardes eagerly capitalized on his unique position in Seville to acquire botanical news specimens and seeds from the New World cultivating his own garden of American plants and distributing cuttings to correspondents throughout Spain and Europe. In 1553 he established a transatlantic business partnership with a colleague in Tierra Firme and over the next three decades Monardes' three sons and four daughters emigrated to Tierra Firme and New Spain thus providing him with a network which would prove invaluable in collecting information for the 1565 <i>Dos libros</i> and in expanding the treatise in its 1571 and 1574 editions published as <i>Segunda Parte</i> and <i>Primera y Segunda y Tercera Partes de la Historia Medicinal</i>. In the <i>Dos libros</i> Monardes describes more than two dozen botanical remedies sarsaparilla copal and other aromatic balsams guaiacum lignum vitae etc. their medicinal applications native nomenclature and where they were to be found Mexico City Jalisco Michoacán Cuba Santo Domingo San Juan Cartagena Honduras Peru Nicaragua. Fascinatingly he views this specialized information through the broader lens of early American exploration discussing the voyages of Columbus and Hernán Cortés Monardes' near contemporary the spread of New World diseases among the first conquistadors and assessing the value of America's medicinal riches against her wealth of gold and silver.</p><p>In his first printed work <i>Dialogo llamado pharmacodilosis o declaracion medicinal</i> Seville 1536 Monardes noted that he was skeptical of the therapeutic value of plants from the New World but "his change of heart between 1536 and 1565 about the value of American <i>materia medica</i> was a gradual process and was due to his own experience" Boxer p. 22. Monardes "took great care after about 1536 to examine those plants imported and/or transplanted into Spain – a self-imposed task facilitated by the unrivaled position of Seville as the sole <i>entrepôt</i> for Spanish trade with the New World … just as d'Orta cultivated Asian plants in his gardens and orchards at Goa and Bombay so Monardes had a botanical garden with native and exotic plants at Sevilla" Boxer 22.</p><p>In addition to Clusius' Latin translation of Monardes <i>De simplicibus medicamentis ex Occidentli India delatis</i> 1574 first Latin edition an English translation appeared in 1577 by John Frampton under the title <i>Joyful newes out of the newe found world. </i>Italian French and German translations followed with the work going through 19 editions during Monardes' lifetime and 14 after his death.</p><p>In the present 1565 first edition of the <i>Dos libros</i> Monardes challenged European travelers and residents in the Americas to "'<i>investigate and experiment with the many kinds of medicines that the Indians sell in their markets or Tianguez; it would be a thing of great utility and profit to see and know their properties and to experiment with their varied and great effects which the Indians make public and manifest through the great experiences they make of them among themselves'"</i> Monardes quoted from Bleichmar <i>Visual Voyages</i> p. 51. But tapping into native knowledge of medicinal matters apparently proved more difficult than Monardes had anticipated: In the 1571 <i>Segunda Parte</i> he notes that the increasing Amerindian hostility to the European presence in the Americas was provoking them to keep their medicinal/botanical practices secret to the point of providing misleading information to colonists seeking local remedies and consequently his 1565 <i>Dos Libros</i> had in fact become the primary source for Indian medicinal knowledge even among Europeans stationed and living in the Americas among the native populace see Bleichmar <i>Visual Voyages</i> p. 51.</p><p>Monardes' other published works include the 1539 <i>De secanda vena in pleuriti inter Grecos et Arabes concordia</i> and his 1540 <i>De rosa et partibus eius</i>. His treatise on the medicinal properties of the bezoar stone is appended to the present <i>Dos libros</i>.</p><p>OCLC locates U.S. examples of this 1565 <i>Dos Libros</i> of Monardes at the National Library of Medicine John Carter Brown Wisconsin Hunt Botanical SMU and NYPL.</p><p> Alden European Americana 565/45; Medina BHA 194; JCB vol. 1 no. 240; Palau 175485; Wellcome 4390; USTC 340089; Garrison & Morton 1817; ; Hunt 106 1569 ed.; Sabin 49936 the 2nd ed.; F.

ANDERSON JENNIFER L
Mahogany: The Costs Of Luxury In Early America
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In the mid-eighteenth century colonial Americans became enamored with the rich colors and silky surface of mahogany. This exotic wood imported from the West Indies and Central America quickly displaced local furniture woods as the height of fashion. Over the next century consumer demand for mahogany set in motion elaborate schemes to secure the trees and transform their rough-hewn logs into exquisite objects. But beneath the polished gleam of this furniture lies a darker hidden story of human and environmental exploitation. Mahogany traces the path of this wood through many hands from source to sale: from the enslaved African woodcutters including skilled "huntsmen" who located the elusive trees amidst dense rainforest to the ship captains merchants and timber dealers who scrambled after the best logs to the skilled cabinetmakers who crafted the wood and with it the tastes and aspirations of their diverse clientele. As the trees became scarce however the search for new sources led to expanded slave labor vicious competition and intense international conflicts over this diminishing natural resource. When nineteenth-century American furniture makers turned to other materials surviving mahogany objects were revalued as antiques evocative of the nation's past. Jennifer L. Anderson offers a dynamic portrait of the many players locales and motivations that drove the voracious quest for mahogany to adorn American parlors and dining rooms. This complex story reveals the cultural economic and environmental costs of America's growing self-confidence and prosperity and how desire shaped not just people's lives but the natural world. 432 pages 5-1/2 x 8-1/4 inches 11 color illustrations 19 halftones 2 maps. Jennifer L. Anderson is Associate Professor of History at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. "A fascinating book about the most coveted wood in early America and indeed the 18th-century British Empire� This enlightening�study does for mahogany what others long ago did for sugar and tobacco chocolate and coffee rubber and bananas� From an impressive number of archival sources Anderson has assembled a vibrant collective portrait of colonial grandees�Benjamin and William Franklin among them�declaring their social dominance through hard-won mahogany possessions."�Kirk Davis Swinehart The Wall Street Journal "From the 1720s to the mid-19th century mahogany was the preeminent medium for conspicuous consumption on both sides of the Atlantic� However as Anderson's superb book makes abundantly clear the polished luster of these immaculate objects came from exploitative labor practices ecological devastation and phenomenal business failures all of which attested to the commodity's natural and human cost� Anderson's is a remarkable contribution to Atlantic history that�will be much enjoyed by anyone interested in the history of trade in colonial America and the Caribbean."�Brian Odom Library Journal "Anderson details the history of the search for trade in and use of mahogany. Though the title directs readers to early America for Anderson America is in reality the Atlantic world. Most of the author's time is spent among the islands of the Caribbean or near the Bay of Honduras in Belize where mahogany was harvested. Anderson paints a picture of the Atlantic world in which travel and trade were the norm and families lived and worked up and down the coasts of North and Central America as well as on numerous Caribbean islands."�S.A. Jacobe Choice "Anderson's evocative and stunning Mahogany reminds us of both the deep ties between humans and trees and the sharp consequences of allowing our passion for beauty to trump nature's capacity to sustain a species."�Peter C. Mancall author of Fatal Journey: The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson "Anderson has crafted a rich blend of the cultural history of mahogany the social history of logging the economic history of the mahogany timber trade the environmental history of Caribbean forests and the history of the natural history of mahogany. The result is an elegant essay in Atlantic history."�J.R. McNeill author of Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean 1620-1914 "This superb study of a vital early American commodity focuses on its production distribution and consumption from the age of sail to the era of steam. Mahogany's sumptuousness came at a severe price somewhat offset by enhanced knowledge of its properties and opportunities in its harvesting. With its highly nuanced and sophisticated argument this book deserves a wide readership."�Philip Morgan author of Slave Counterpoint: Black Culture in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake and Lowcountry "'When you drink the water think of the well-digger' is folk wisdom around the world. Anderson wisely adds when you see elegant mahogany furniture think of the hard-handed African slave hacking away under deadly working conditions at a tall hardwood tree in a hot dense Caribbean rainforest. Like Sidney Mintz's classic study of sugar Sweetness and Power this book makes us see the familiar in new and disturbing ways."�Marcus Rediker author of The Slave Ship: A Human History Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2012 hardcover

Over the next century consumer demand for mahogany set in motion elaborate schemes to secure the trees and transform their rough-hewn logs into exquisite objects. But beneath the polished gleam of this furniture lies a darker hidden story of human and environmental exploitation. Mahogany traces the path of this wood through many hands from source to sale: from the enslaved African woodcutters including skilled "huntsmen" who located the elusive trees amidst dense rainforest to the ship captains merchants and timber dealers who scrambled after the best logs to the skilled cabinetmakers who crafted the wood and with it the tastes and aspirations of their diverse clientele. As the trees became scarce however the search for new sources led to expanded slave labor vicious competition and intense international conflicts over this diminishing natural resource. When nineteenth-century American furniture makers turned to other materials surviving mahogany objects were revalued as antiques evocative of the nation's past. Jennifer L. Anderson offers a dynamic portrait of the many players locales and motivations that drove the voracious quest for mahogany to adorn American parlors and dining rooms. This complex story reveals the cultural economic and environmental costs of America's growing self-confidence and prosperity and how desire shaped not just people's lives but the natural world. 432 pages 5-1/2 x 8-1/4 inches 11 color illustrations 19 halftones 2 maps. Jennifer L. Anderson is Associate Professor of History at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. "A fascinating book about the most coveted wood in early America and indeed the 18th-century British Empire� This enlightening�study does for mahogany what others long ago did for sugar and tobacco chocolate and coffee rubber and bananas� From an impressive number of archival sources Anderson has assembled a vibrant collective portrait of colonial grandees�Benjamin and William Franklin among them�declaring their social dominance through hard-won mahogany possessions."�Kirk Davis Swinehart The Wall Street Journal "From the 1720s to the mid-19th century mahogany was the preeminent medium for conspicuous consumption on both sides of the Atlantic� However as Anderson's superb book makes abundantly clear the polished luster of these immaculate objects came from exploitative labor practices ecological devastation and phenomenal business failures all of which attested to the commodity's natural and human cost� Anderson's is a remarkable contribution to Atlantic history that�will be much enjoyed by anyone interested in the history of trade in colonial America and the Caribbean."�Brian Odom Library Journal "Anderson details the history of the search for trade in and use of mahogany. Though the title directs readers to early America for Anderson America is in reality the Atlantic world. Most of the author's time is spent among the islands of the Caribbean or near the Bay of Honduras in Belize where mahogany was harvested. Anderson paints a picture of the Atlantic world in which travel and trade were the norm and families lived and worked up and down the coasts of North and Central America as well as on numerous Caribbean islands."�S.A. Jacobe Choice "Anderson's evocative and stunning Mahogany reminds us of both the deep ties between humans and trees and the sharp consequences of allowing our passion for beauty to trump nature's capacity to sustain a species."�Peter C. Mancall author of Fatal Journey: The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson "Anderson has crafted a rich blend of the cultural history of mahogany the social history of logging the economic history of the mahogany timber trade the environmental history of Caribbean forests and the history of the natural history of mahogany. The result is an elegant essay in Atlantic history."�J.R. McNeill author of Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean 1620-1914 "This superb study of a vital early American commodity focuses on its production distribution and consumption from the age of sail to the era of steam. Mahogany's sumptuousness came at a severe price somewhat offset by enhanced knowledge of its properties and opportunities in its harvesting. With its highly nuanced and sophisticated argument this book deserves a wide readership."�Philip Morgan author of Slave Counterpoint: Black Culture in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake and Lowcountry "'When you drink the water think of the well-digger' is folk wisdom around the world. Anderson wisely adds when you see elegant mahogany furniture think of the hard-handed African slave hacking away under deadly working conditions at a tall hardwood tree in a hot dense Caribbean rainforest. Like Sidney Mintz's classic study of sugar Sweetness and Power this book makes us see the familiar in new and disturbing ways."�Marcus Rediker author of The Slave Ship: A Human History Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2015 paperback
