Title page dedication leaf pp 506 ii with seven engraved folding plates and one folding table slight damage to the margin of the ornithological plate a little age-toning generally endpapers unevenly browned but otherwise very clean internally bound in full contemporary polished calf slight wear at the corners joints cracking slightly lacking a small piece at the head of the spine. The students whose names appear on the dissertations were not necessarily their authors; it was their function to present the dissertation and defend it in public debate but the responsibility for the content of the dissertation was largely that of the professor in this case Linnaeus. The fact that Linnaeus cited the Amoenitates as the place of publication for plant names he credited to himself indicates that he was generally the principal author of the work. At the end of this volume is a list of "Editiones operum auctoris" including the Amoenitates with the clear implication that Linnaeus is the author. Of great importance for "Potus Theae" in which Pehr Tillaeus discussed among other things the properties and benefits of tea as a medicine. Tillaeus's dissertation was the first in-depth botanical study of the tea bush and he also named parts of the plant. The tea plant had only been introduced to Sweden and Europe generally as recently as 1763. Also includes Hoffman's "Potus Chocolatae" - a botanico-medical essay on the merits of drinking chocolate flavored with vanilla. Botanical accounts are given of the cacao tree Theobroma cacao L. and of the vanilla orchid Epidendrum vanilla L. = Vanilla fragrans. The preparation of the chocolate beans and of the beverage by the Spaniards is described. Linnaeus advocated use of the beverage as a pleasant drink and for treatment of hypochrondria and hemorrhoids. Other essays include : Gahn's "Fundamenta Agrostographiae" - a classified list of grasses of economic importance preceded by a history of prior studies of grasses. Laurin's "Menthae usus" - an essay on the kinds of mints useful in medicinal preparations. Lado's "Motus polychrestus" - an essay on the importance of physical exercise as a preservative and restorative of good health. Tengborg's "Hortus Culinaris" - an essay on edible and economic plants of Sweden their culture and hardiness. Includes those then in use and others suggested. Backmann's "Fundamenta ornithologica" - an exposition of the fundamentals of Linnaeus' classification of birds. Uddman's "Lepra" - An overview of leprosy including hypotheses about causes types of leprosy possible treatments. Aphonin's "Usus historiae naturalis" - An essay on the importance of a knowledge of natural history to greater improvement of agriculture and horticulture with emphasis on those kinds of plants best suited as food for each kind of domestic animal. Osterdam's "Siren lacertina" - an account of the two-legged Siren lizard of South Carolina sometimes known as the Carolina mud iguana. Berlin's "Usus Muscorum" - an historical study of the economic uses of lichens in Sweden including Lapland. Roos' "Mundus Invisibilis" - a medico-botanical treatise on airborne spores and microorganisms some of which Linnaeus believed to be responsible for infectious diseases. Blad's "Fundamenta entomologiae" - an historical review of entomology with a list of 32 pre-Linnaean authors instructions on how to collect and preserve insects and the fundamentals of their classification. Wedenberg's "Varietas ciborum" - a medico-nutritional essay on the wide range of foodstuffs eaten by man and a classification of these foods into 10 groups and the effects of diets in which each group dominates and the diseases which might result. Linnaeus' concluding advice is "Ne quid nimis" nothing in excess ! With approximately ten other essays. LATIN TEXT THROUGHOUT. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AMOENITATES VOLUMES. RARE. Full Leather.

1995réf. 031580Melbourne: Hill House 1995. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Facsimile Edition. Elephant Folio. Limited facsimile edition this copy is very early in the sequence and stamped no. 006 to the front paste-down. A fine copy cloth very slightly marked; contents clean and tight unmarked. Original green Japanese Saifu cloth gilt 82 fine coloured plates with accompanying text. Endpapers with a repeating pattern of BM library stamps. One of series of remarkably exact same-size facsimile of the original in the British Library printed by offset lithography on acid-free matt art paper and hand-bound. The Hill House series contained the only authentic full-size facsimiles of the works of John Gould - this volume is one of the original printings and now out of print. An as-new copy. Publisher's blurb thus "They are not reproductions because no camera was used in transferring the images from the B.M.N.H. originals. Indeed the originals are taken by Museum security courier to the repro-house in Singapore where they are subjected to the preparation of new plates for printing on 5 and 6 colour offset presses. The paper used is 130 gsm mat art paper. As facsimiles the books carry faithfully every spot mark or stain of the originals. They also carry the original Museum Department of Zoology stamps and librarian's annotations. From behind glass the naked eye would be unable to distinguish the original from the facsimile so accurate is the colour printing. Also as facsimiles they are exactly the same size as the originals Imperial Folio: 22" x 15". Each volume is hand sewn cased-in and bound between 4 mm. boards covered in special Japanese Saifu cloth gold stamped on the spine and with the gold Crown Cipher of the British Museum Natural History on the front and blind embossed on the inner margin of the front boards. The end-papers are of special wood-free heavy grade paper printed in a generated repetitive pattern of the Museum's Library stamps. The publisher has not intruded into the authenticity of the books leaving the publication data printed only on the very last page at the end of the book block. Each copy is hand inspected by the printer's quality control officer individually numbered on the inside front board. Thus no two copies are exactly the same. Although initial volumes were printed in more than 500 copies later production runs have not exceeded 300 for world-wide sale. This has been caused by a relative shortage of quality paper together with the intensive hand-labour involved in their production."

1766réf. 20596Florence Italy: Giuseppe Vanni 1766. Print. Very good condition. Contemporary hand colored copper engraving. From the Natural History of the Birds Treated Systematically and Adorned with Copperplate Engraving Illustrations in Miniature and Life-Size 1766-1777. The work carries some interesting historical importance according to Peter Dance: "The production of its five massive folio volumes must have been one of the most remarkable publishing ventures ever undertaken in Florence. Begun in 1767 and based on birds taken from the collection of Giovanni Gerini it was completed ten years later. It was larger better engraved and more vividly coloured than any previous work on birds but these are not its only claim to fame. The attitudes of the birds themselves give this book its unique character. Strutting parading posturing and occasionally flying.are birds whose real-life counterparts would surely disown them and not without reason for Manetti seems in these pictures to be depicting the human comedy the habits and mannerisms of contemporary Italian society. His book may still be rated among the very greatest bird books if only for its magnificent comicality" S. Peter Dance The Art of Natural History: Animal Illustrators and their Work. London 1978.
