ESTIENNE, Charles
Di Carlo Stefano Le herbe, fiori, stirpi, che si piantano ne gli horti, con le voci loro piu proprie & accommodate. Aggiuntoui un Libretto di coltiuare gli horti, tradotto in italiano per Pietro Lauro Modonese.
In 8° (15,8x10,8 cm); 69, (1) cc.. Legatura in cartoncino molle. Un piccolo ed ininfluente forellino di tarlo abilmente restaurato nell'angolo bianco alto delle ultime 3 carte. Una piccola e leggerissima macchiolina, anche questa ininfluente al margine esterno bianco delle ultime 10 carte, praticamente invisibile e nel complesso esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Celebre marca tipografica di Valgrisi al frontespizio ed all'ultima carta con "Serpente attorcigliato a bastone a forma di tau sostenuto da mani uscenti da nuvole". Prima traduzione italiana, fatta dal noto letterato modenese Pietro Lauro, di questa importante opera botanica del grande medico ed anatomista francese Charles Estienne. Terzo figlio di Henri Estienne, uno dei più grandi stampatori nel XVI secolo, lasciò un profondo segno nell'agricoltura cinquecentesca e seicentesca. Ispirandosi ai classici greci e latini pubblicò alcune delle opere più importanti in tema botanico e di orticoltura della sua epoca come il "Seminarium'', il '' Re Vinetum Ortensia" o il ''Praedium Rusticum". Nell'opera qui presentata, in prima edizione italiana, l'autore descrive le piante più adatte e migliori da piantarsi negli orti, la disposizione da tenersi ed il modo migliore di allevarle e accudirle con notizie utili anche sul come proteggerle dalle intemperie e dagli animali. Prima edizione italiana, non comune e ancor meno comune, dato l'uso manualistico che ne veniva fatto, in queste buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione.

John Lyon Nurseryman and Plant Hunter and His Journal 1799-1814
Philadelphia: The American Philosophical Society 1963. Two illustrations and a map large slim quarto pp 69 paperback a very good copy. Trans.Am.Phil.Soc. Vol 53 part 2. Lyon appears to have trained as a nurseryman and gardener probably on a large country estate near Dundee. He was certainly living in Pennsylvania by 1796 when he joined William Hamilton at Woodlands near Philadelphia as Director of planting. From 1799 he began plant-collecting in the Allegheny Mountains. He did much collection in the state over the next nine years and left the estate in 1805. In 1806 he took a collection of plants from America to London. Returning to America the following year he began to collect more widely concentrating on the Appalachian Mountains but ranging from Georgia to Florida. He was especially fond of western North Carolina and collected on the Roan Highlands Grandfather Mountain and Pilot Mountain.He is credited with bringing 31 new species into cultivation. The most popular flowering shrub which he introduced to Britain was Pieris floribunda discovered in September 1807 and taken to Britain around 1809/10. The Lyonia genus similar to Pieris is named after him. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. The American Philosophical Society Paperback
