Johnson to the recto of the title-leaf. The first installment of Polish-Scottish physician John Jonston's (1603-1675) Historiæ naturalis was released in 1650 and by the time the series reached its conclusion in 1657, it was already recognized as a standard reference of encyclopedic zoology. Jonston spent his childhood in Poland before completing his education at Cambridge, where he studied botany and medicine. He was a devoted disciple of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605), whose work he heavily drew from when drafting his own (he is chiefly referred to as a a skilled "compiler" by bibliographers). Matthaeus Merian the younger executed the vast majority of the copperplate engravings, which would be extensively reprinted and copied by fellow engravers for the next century. Hendrik Ruysch's (1663-1727) 1718 edition is one such copy. A fellow physician, Ruysch updated and revised Jonston's work for an XVIIIc audience. Ruysch was the son of the renowned Dutch anatomist, Frederik Ruysch, and had unbridled access to his father's internationally famous collection of medical curiosities, which housed countless preserved specimens and became a tourist attraction for those visiting Amsterdam. The father-son duo had significantly advanced preservation techniques, so much so that when Tsar Peter the Great paid a visit, he was so moved by the sight of an embalmed young boy that he fell to his knees and kissed him. The Tsar later purchased the entire collection and relocated it to St. Petersburg, where it remains to this day. The present examples are both book IV of the series, chronicling marine invertebrates. Other installations would focus on fish, quadrupeds, birds, and insects, and serpents, but these men of science would occasionally feature mythical creatures alongside the observable ones (some of which no doubt seemed equally improbable to XVII and XVIIIc Europeans). In conversation with one another, the Jonston and Ruysch editions dictate a century of pre-Linnaean attempts to meaningfully classify the natural world; the volumes illustrate both the triumphs and follies of Baroque scientific inquiry that Systema Naturæ would build upon and concretize, issuing in the Enlightenment. Richard I. Johnson (1925-2020) was a long time Research Associate at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, having started as a volunteer while still in high school. He published his first scientific article at the age of 16, beginning his life as a gentleman scholar. Though never conferred a doctorate, Johnson produced more than 50 papers on malacology and was widely recognized as a scholarly authority. Over six decades, Johnson assembled.

DNB: JOHNSTONE or JONSTON, JOHN (1603-1675), naturalist, grandson of John Johnstone of Craigieburn in Nithsdale, and son of Simon Johnstone, who had wandered to Poland in the beginning of the seventeenth century, by his wife Anna Becker, was born at Sambter in Posen, 3 Sept. 1603. After attending schools at Thorn in Prussia and elsewhere, he proceeded in 1622 to the university of St. Andrews, where he matriculated on 29 Jan. 1623-4, and studied with special distinction in Hebrew and natural science till March 1625 (St. Andrews' Matriculation Register). The next four years he spent abroad, but returned to England towards the close of 1629, taking courses of botany and medicine at Cambridge, and continuing his studies in London during 1630, when he wrote the greater part of his first important work, the 'Thaumatographia.' .He next proceeded to Leyden, where he graduated M.D. in 1632, and visiting England for the third time in that year with two young Polish nobles, his pupils, was admitted to the same degree ad eundem at Cambridge. After more travel on the continent Johnstone appears to have settled in Leyden about 1634. He practised medicine there for several years and obtained a great reputation. He was offered the chair of medicine at the university of Leyden in 1640, and two years later a similar offer was made by the elector of Brandenburg. Johnstone, however, preferred to study independently. He retired in 1655 to his private estate, near Liegnitz in Silesia, where he continued until his death on 8 June 1675. He was buried at Lessno in Poland.Johnstone was twice married, first, in 1637, to Rosina, daughter of Samuel Hortensius of Fraustadt; secondly, in 1638, to Anna, daughter of Mathias Vechner, by whom he had four children. One daughter, Anna Regina, who married Samuel von Schoff, a noble of Breslau, alone survived him.Johnstone's works were for the most part extremely laborious compilations, and according to Chaufepié and other critics they exhibit more learning than judgment; they were, however, much esteemed in England during the seventeenth century (cf. Wilkes, Encycl. Londinensis, xi. 235). T.

Two gilt ruled leather straps, one decorated brass clasp. A very good copy of the first edition of this highly successful medical work. John Jonston (Polish Jan Jonston, 1603-1675) was a Polish world-famous physician, biologist and historian born to a family of noble Scottish origins. During his life, he travelled extensively across Europe for his education: he attended St. Andrews University, where he studied theology, and later the Universities of Cambridge, Frankfurt, Franeker and Leiden, where he specialised in botany and medicine. His reputation as a physician spread quickly, and everywhere he travelled he established contacts with outstanding men of science. An extremely prolific author and a man of immense knowledge, his large corpus include encyclopaedias of natural science, treatises on zoology, botany, hygiene, medicine, but also works on ethics and history. In 1642, Jonston was offered the post of head of the medical department at the University of Frankfurt. He rejected, however promised to prepare a textbook of medicine for the students of this university: the result was 'Idea universae medicinae practicae' (here). An encyclopaedic handbook of clinical medicine, it is arranged in eight books dealing with diseases in general, external and internal diseases, fevers, and their appropriate treatments. Interestingly, Jonston discussed a number of conditions concerned with insanity and neurosis. "In the foreword Jonston emphasizes that the information on various remedies comes from the works of the best physicians and includes what he had been able to learn from the outstanding people he met during his voyages. () Jonston intended his textbook to be a summary of all medical knowledge available at that time. When discussing diseases, he first writes about their symptoms, ten causes followed by the differences between diseases, finally treatment. Jonston is the first man to introduce a new branch of medicine, the medicine of labour, and to describe and systematize the diseases of the nails. () The treatise had many editions, and its content was twice considerably enlarged and revised. It is to this treatise that Jonston owes his name of one of the authors of the modern classification of diseases. () According to Stanisław Schwann, Jonston's textbooks of medicine and nature were still compulsory in all German universities in 1721" (Matuszewski) This copy was bound including more than 100 additional blank pages at the end, most likely for a student. Medical handbooks in the Renaissance were often prepared in this way on commission: the blank pages would have been used by the owner to write annotations, summaries and indexes.

In den WarenkorbTall 4to. (335 x 211 mm) 228, [4] pp. 47 plates; text with some foxing. Original paper over boards. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Rare. FINE. An extensive work on the morphology of boned fish, cartilaginous fish (sharks, rays, skates) and cetaceans. This work is illustrated with forty-seven full-page engraved plates that are… executed in superb form. Plate XLII shows a beached baleen whale and its enormous size, compared to the men in the engraving. A bit fanciful, plate XL shows a pair of Mermen; a fish on plate XXVII has the features of a human face whilst a 'shark' on plate VII has semi-human fore-limbs. Except for these anomalies, the zoological drawings are quite dramatic and relatively accurate. Jonston's works were frequently re-edited and translated into German, Latin, Dutch and English. Born in Poland, but of Scottish origin, Jonston was educated and traveled extensively. He attended St. Andrews (1623-5), studying botany and medicine at Cambridge, Leiden, and Frankfurt Universities. He earned degrees from Cambridge and in Leiden, his M. D. in 1632, where he later practiced medicine and gained a great reputation. In 1642 he briefly taught at Frankfurt as professor of medicine. He retired to his private estate in Silesia in 1655. His "four dictionary-style works on fish, birds, quadrupeds and insects -- published between 1650 and 1653 with excellent illustrations -- were widely read and translated." [DSB].

Vermorcken according to A. F. Schoy) with their motto "Christus meus protector", annotated by hand; with the ownership inscription of Joseph Van Huerne, from Bruges, celebrated collector and patron whose famous cabinet of curiosities was dispersed at his death in 1844. SECOND EDITION OF THE FIRST FOUR TITLES AND FIRST EDITION OF THE LAST TWO. The first four were first issued in Frankfurt between 1650-1657, when this famous compendium of the animal kingdom was considered the standard zoological encyclopedia of its era, combining works on quadrupeds, birds, insects, aquatic life, and reptiles, bound here in one large volume containing 250 folio-sized plates, most of them with several figures each. Finely engraved, carefully detailed, and often featuring a touch of whimsy, these are among the most pleasing zoological plates produced in the 17th century. Mythical animals such as the griffin, the phoenix, and a variety of unicorns are pictured alongside real creatures, some of which no doubt seemed equally improbable to 17th-century Europeans. Matthäus Merian and his heirs published the first titles in Jonston's series in Frankfurt from 1650 to 1652. They were reprinted in 1657 by Schipper, as here, expanding the scope to include Shellfish and Snakes in 1665. Though born and educated first in Poland, Jonston's family were of Scottish descent, and "in 1622 [he went] to the University of St Andrews. Here he matriculated as Polonus Patre Scoto Prognatus on 29 January 1624, and studied Hebrew, divinity, and philosophy until March 1625. Jonston spent the next four years abroad but returned to England towards the close of 1629, taking courses in botany and medicine at Cambridge, and continuing his studies in London during 1630, when he wrote the greater part of his first important work, the 'Thaumatographia'. He next proceeded to study medicine at Leiden, where he graduated MD in 1632. In a visit later that year to England he was admitted to the same degree ad eundem at Cambridge. After more travel on the continent, Jonston appears to have settled in Leiden about 1634. He practised medicine there for several years and gained a great reputation. He wrote in Latin on a number of subjects, and was considered a polymath by a number of his contemporaries. Jonston was offered the chair of medicine at the University of Leiden in 1640, and two years later a similar offer was made by the elector of Brandenburg. Jonston, however, declined these. Book.

Contemporary full mottled calf, spine in compartments with raised bands, elaborately tooled in gilt with red morocco label. Head of spine and both upper join…ts rubbed and worn with loss of calf, tail of spine and lower edge of upper cover also worn with loss, covers a little scratched and scuffed, extremities worn, upper hinge cracked but holding. Plates not consecutively bound but all present. First dedication leaf somewhat creased, some occasional light marginal browning and soiling, small nick at tail of p. 105. Large tear through image in plate 56 skillfully repaired. From the library of Gunnar Brusewitz. First volume only. Nissen Die zoologische Buchillustration 2139 calling for (8) preliminaries only. The first volume only of six, of the 1755-1768 Eckebrecht edition of this noted work by the naturalist John (or Jan) Jonston (1603-1675). It was first published between 1650 and 1653 with engraved plates by Caspar and Matthias Merian. The present volume deals with quadrupeds including i.a. lions, elephants, horses, frogs, unicorns and a griffin. The publication of this issue is somewhat peculiar, since the stated intention is scientific but at the same time ignores the last 100 years of zoological science. One would presume that the striking images simply were too good not to reissue.

In den Warenkorb"2 volumes. Folio (13 6/8 x 8 6/8 inches). Letterpress title-pages printed in red and black, text in double columns (spotted throughout). Engraved allegorical frontispiece to volume one by Melchior Küsell after Matthaeus Merian, 137 numbered engraved plates of plants and flowers also after Merian. Contemporary calf backed vinega…r marbled paper boards (quite worn with loss to the spines). Provenance: with the 20th-century ownership inscription of Eleanor H. Richards on the front paste-down of each volume. Second edition, first published in 1662. A compendious botanical encyclopedia which includes a number of plants from the East Indies and the New World as described by de Laet and Linschoten, whom Jonston references throughout. Though born and educated first in Poland, Jonston's family were of Scottish descent, and "in 1622 [he went] to the University of St Andrews. Here he matriculated as Polonus Patre Scoto Prognatus on 29 January 1624, and studied Hebrew, divinity, and philosophy until March 1625. Jonston spent the next four years abroad but returned to England towards the close of 1629, taking courses in botany and medicine at Cambridge, and continuing his studies in London during 1630, when he wrote the greater part of his first important work, the 'Thaumatographia'. He next proceeded to study medicine at Leiden, where he graduated MD in 1632. In a visit later that year to England he was admitted to the same degree ad eundem at Cambridge. After more travel on the continent, Jonston appears to have settled in Leiden about 1634. He practised medicine there for several years and gained a great reputation. He wrote in Latin on a number of subjects, and was considered a polymath by a number of his contemporaries. Jonston was offered the chair of medicine at the University of Leiden in 1640, and two years later a similar offer was made by the elector of Brandenburg. Jonston, however, declined these offers, preferring instead to study independently. His works were considered by some to be laborious compilations, while Chaufepié and other critics suggested they exhibited more learning than judgement. However, in England his efforts were much esteemed during the seventeenth century. His chief works included 'Thaumatographia naturalis, in decem classes distincta' (1632), which was dedicated to Prince Janusz Radziwill and his son, Boguslas, 'Systema dendrologicum' (1646), 'De piscibus et ceti's (1649), 'De avibus' (1650), 'De quadrupedibus' (1652), 'De serpentibus et draconibus' (1653), 'Naturæ constantia' (1652), which was translated by J. Rouland (1657), 'Notitia regni vegetabilis ' (1661), 'Notitia regni mineralis' (1661), and 'Dendrographias, sive, Historia naturalis de arboribus et fructibus' (1662) [of which this is the second edition]. He also published a number of works on history, medicine, and ethics" (Thomas Seccombe, rev. Yolanda Foote for DNB). Matthaus Merian was a notable Swiss engraver born 1593 in Basel. He learned copperplate engraving in Zurich, though he studied later in such cities as Strasbourg, Nancy and Paris. He returned to Basel in 1615, moving to Frankfurt 1616. There he worked for Johann Theodor de Bry, the celebrated publisher whose daughter, Maria Magdelana he married in 1617. In 1620 he and his family moved back to Basel, though they returned to Frankfurt in 1623. Maria took over her father's publishing house upon his death.

Hinges, capitals and corners w. traces of use. First 12 leaves of "De Piscibus" w. repair to lower margin (ca. 4 x 10 cm. and decreasing) w. waterstain…ing around it, neither repair nor waterstaining affecting text or illustrations. Otherwise internally nice and clean. Engr. t-p. and 48 engr. plates (most of them depicting between 7 and 20 animals that live in water), 5, (3), 160 pp. (De Piscibus) + woodcut title-vignette and 20 engr. plates (most of them depicting between 10 and 20 shell-fish etc.), 58, (2) pp. Second edition of both works. The "Exanguibus Aquaticis" is in accordance with Nissen's description of the second edition (Nissen 2134), the second edition of the "De Piscibus", however, is described in Nissen without year and as containing 47 plates, as the first edition, whereas this copy has 48 plates (all numbered), place and printer are the same. The first editions were both printed in Frankfurt in 1650. Johnston (1603 - 1675) was born in Poland and of Scottish descend, he was primarily a medic and natural historian. His works are usually seen as compilations of information with no personal judgment accompanying it. None the less his works of natural history were of great importance to the growing interest in this field of the time. "For example four of his dictionary-style works on fish, birds, quadrupeds, and insects -published between 1650 and 1653 with excellent illustrations- were widely read and translated" (D.S.B. VII:164). Though he relied a lot on the writings of others (e.g. those of Aldrovandi), his works became of great importance, first of all because of their new educational approach, but they were also of paramount importance to the development of natural history in Japan. The first collected edition in Dutch of the Historia Naturalis published at Amsterdam in 1660, was presented as a gift to the Japanese ruler Shogun Yoshimune. It was the only source of knowledge of western natural history in Japan, until in 1750. "Jonston's writings were a useful contribution to seventeenth-century thought, although he was not in the forefront of changing concepts of the time." (D.S.B. VII:165).These two works are the separate volumes three and four of Johnston's six-volume work "Historia Naturalis". All the beautifully executed plates are by Merian, who printed the first edition. Wood mentions this 1657-edition as the "editio princeps" (Wood p. 409). Nissen 2133 + 2134.
