Stafleu & Cowan 6383 (variant issue). - The lengthy title text continues: "La citation des meilleures Figures; le Climat au lieu naturel des Plantes; l'époque de leur flleuraison; leurs propriétés et leurs usages dans les Arts, dans l'Economie rurale et la Médecine." The translator and editor Marie Jacques Philippe Mouton-Fontenille de La Clotte (1769-1837) was professor of natural history at the Académie de Lyon and later Keeper of the town museum of Lyon. The work comprises a translation of the "Genera Plantarum" of 1778 and of the "Systema plantarum" of 1779 and many learned bnotes by the translator. "The treatment is heavily based on Linnaeus but contains so much material supplied by Mouton-Fontenille that the latter can be treated as the author" (Stafleu & Cowan). An uncommon edition.

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo., (7 2/8 x 4 4/8 inches). Half-title. Contemporary mottled calf, the spine in six compartments with five raised bands, citron morocco lettering-piece in one, the others decorated with fine gilt tools (a bit worn with loss to the extremities). Provenance: with the bookplate of the Warren H. Corning Col…lection of Horticultural Classics on the front paste-down. First French edition of Johann Andreas Murray's 13th edition of Linnaeus' "Systema naturae", first published by Murray in 1774. A student of Linneaus in Uppsala between 1756 and 1759, he wrote an introduction called "Regnum vegetabile" [or, 'The Vegetable Kingdom']. First published in Leiden in 1735, the first edition of "Systema naturae" had only twelve pages, and with each new edition new plant and animal species were added. The 13th edition was published in 1770 and more than 2000 pages. The work presented a revolutionary way to classify the three kingdoms in nature: the animal, the plant, and stones. Each kingdom was subdivided into classes, orders, genera, species, and varieties. Linnaeus's classification system has survived in biology, though additional ranks, such as families, have been added to accommodate growing numbers of species. Linnaeus, the celebrated Swedish naturalist and explorer, was the first scientist to propose principles for defining the genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them: binomial nomenclature. His system was so successful that it is still used today for naming new species of plants and animals.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First edition. Amsterdam: 1737 [1738]. First edition. Folio (16 7/8" x 9 3/4", 428mm x 248mm). [Full collation available.] With 37 engraved plates by Wandelaar: 1 frontispiece and 36 botanicals (20 of which are after Ehret). Bound in mottled calf. On the spine, 6 raised bands. Title and author gilt… to sheepskin in the second panel. All edges of the text-block speckled red. Rebacked with the original backstrip laid down. Craquelure to the boards and spine. Evenly toned with occasional spotting. Sporadic graphite marginalia in a later hand. Plate XIII bound after Plate XV and Plate XXXII bound after Plate XXXVI. Quire 9* bound within quire 7*, likely to resolve a mispagination in printing. Pagination is thus not affected. Catalog clipping, ink stamp of the Gloucestershire County Library completed in manuscript "580 / a / H 4 F12", bookplate of Gloucestershire's The Hartland Library, and manuscript bibliographical notes to the verso of a tipped in ink letter from a Mrs. Griffiths to a Mr. Hastley to the front pastedown. Carl Linné (von Linné from his ennoblement in 1761; Latinized Carolus Linnæus, 1707-1778) was the ultimate taxonomist, the father of modern natural science, princeps botanicorum (prince of botanists). Against a national patchwork of descriptions of living things -- often but not always in Latin, and usually in full sentences describing the qualities of the creature -- Linnaeus perfected the system of binomial nomenclature. With two Latin words, scientists could communicate internationally and be assured that they were referring to the same creature; this allowed the collaboration and rapid development that made the XVIIIc the greatest in the development of biological knowledge. The present work is Linnaeus's first published account of plants from around the world, demonstrating that they all could be described using the system he laid out in his twelve-page Systema naturæ (1735). The work is based on the botanical holdings of George Clifford III (1685-1760), an Anglo-Dutch banker who had risen to a directorship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). His summer estate at Hartekamp benefitted from his global connections, and his gardens came to include four hothouses to cultivate his exotic specimens -- per the title, both living and dried -- including the first banana tree grown indoors. Clifford brought on the young naturalist to apply the binomial system to his holdings. The work is important (the Hunt catalogue calls it "the central volume in botanical literature") not only for being the first widespread application of the system to plants but also for being so richly illustrated with engravings by Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759), including a richly allegorical frontispiece: Apollo (with, it is said, the face of Linnaeus) casting off the veil of ignorance from Mother Earth. Twenty of the thirty-six engravings are after the greatest of all XVIIIc botanical illustrators: Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). W.T. Stearn, the great XXc botanist, claims that the Hortus Cliffortianus "marks the beginning of a new era in botanical illustration and foreshadows the golden century of great flower-book production which extended from about 1760-1860" (apud Hunt). The present example hails from the collection of Ernest Dixon Hartland (d. 1931) given to Gloucestershire County Library in 1936 by his widow, Mrs. Amy Georgina Hartland of Hardwicke Court, Chepstow. Mr. Hartland held membership at London's Society of Antiquaries and acted as an independent archivist for his region, collecting not only rare books but manuscript material and ephemera relating to the legal, governmental, and diplomatic proceedings of England's seven home counties. Though much of Mr. Hartland's collection has been deaccessioned, Gloucestershire Archives maintains many of the municipal documents for public reference.

Hasselquist, Fredrik (1722-52); Carl Linnaeus (1707-78). Voyages and travels in the Levant; in the years 1749, 50, 51, 52. Containing observations in natural history, physick, agriculture and commerce . . . [8], viii, 456pp. Engraved frontispiece map. London: L. Davis & C. Reymers, 1766. 202 x 120 mm. Gilt-ruled calf ca. 1766, r…ebacked preserving original spine, light edgewear. Minor foxing and toning but very good. Occasional pencil notes in a later hand. First Edition in English. Hasselquist was one of the so-called "Apostles of Linnaeus"-students who traveled throughout the world on scientific expeditions devised or sanctioned by Carl Linnaeus. "Linnaeus in his lectures had often mentioned the Levant, and Palestine in particular, as fruitful, unexplored country for the naturalist, and he fired Hasselquist with the desire to go there. In vain the Master tried to dissuade him: the boy hadn't the money, he hadn't the stamina (he showed signs of consumption). But Hasselquist would not listen to reason. The money-just, but only just, enough-was raised by Linnaeus, and a free passage to Izmir (Smyrna) found in one of the ships of the Levant Company" (Blunt, The Compleat Naturalist: A Life of Linnaeus, pp. 184-185). From 1749 to 1752 Hasselquist traveled throughout the Middle East and some of the Aegean islands, amassing a rich collection of zoological, botanical and geological specimens; unfortunately, his health failed and he died before he could return to Sweden. When Linnaeus read Hasselquist's travel journals, he was extremely impressed: "I swear I have never yet read anything so full of fresh, genuine and precise observations as these; they penetrate me as God's word penetrates a deacon . . . So admirable a travel journal has never appeared" (quoted in Blunt, p. 185). In 1757 he published Hasselquist's journal under the title Iter Palaestinium; this was followed by translations into English, German, French and Dutch.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. Third edition, first Persoon edition (see below). Göttingen: Johann Christian Dieterich, 1797. Octavo (8" x 4 7/8", 204mm x 123mm). [Full collation available.] Bound in half mottled sheep over marbled paper boards. On the spine, six transverse gilt rolls with gilt fillets top-and-bottom. Aut…hor and title gilt to dark sheep in the second panel. Printed scrollwork head- and tail-bands. All edges of the text-block glazed aqua. Rubbed at the extremities, with some wear and loss at the fore-corners and tail. Mildly foxed throughout. A completely unsophisticated copy. Carl von Linné (Carolus Linnæus, 1707-1778) was the ultimate taxonomist, the father of modern natural science, princeps botanicorum (prince of botanists). The system of binomial nomenclature that he perfected is the cornerstone of an international community of scientists, newly able to refer to a species using a standard language. His Systema Naturæ (1735) was the first to lay out his scientific Weltanschauung, and went through 12 editions under his supervision, reflecting new discoveries. After his death, the Systema diverged; Johan Anders Murray excerpted the part relating only to plants (vegetabilia) into a "thirteenth" edition -- confusingly, there is also a thirteenth edition of the whole Systema -- that then ran to two further; thus, this "fifteenth" edition is in fact the third edition of the Systema Vegetabilium. The present item is the first edited by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, himself an eminent mycologist. Pritzel 5430.

Contemporary speckled calf, gold-tooled spine, red sprinkled edges, marbled endpapers. Name on title-page ("Chalette"), the occasional foxspot, corners bumped, top of spine damaged, other…wise in very good condition. An attractive copy of the third edition of Linnaeus's groundbreaking work on botanical taxonomy. First published in 1737 and dedicated to Herman Boerhaave, Genera Plantarum is a significant stepping stone toward the development of a standardised biological nomenclature. Dividing the plant kingdom into 24 classes, Linnaeus presents a system based on 'natural characters' of genera. "The Genera plantarum was Linnaeus's most important book, even more than the Systema naturae, with respect to the practical introduction of his ideas. [.] His reform was daring and thorough, based on an exceptional and practical knowledge of plants; although influenced by somewhat outmoded ideas, it had exactly the salutary effect which he wanted it to have: consistency and simplicity. These two were prime needs for taxonomy in 1737" (Stafleu). The present edition contains the text of the 1742 edition, augmented with the French vernacular plant names. Soulsby, A catalogue of the works of Linnaeus, 299; Stafleu and Cowan, Taxonomic literature, 4725; Stafleu, Linnaeus and the Linnaeans, p. 103.

3 parts in 1 volume. An account of pharmacological ingredients in three parts, the second on botanical sources by the great Swedish botanist Linnaeus, and those on mineral and animal sources, here in their first editions, by Ludivico Tessari, a famous physician and pharmaceutical chemist, active in Venice in the third quarter of… the 18th century. Part 1 covers the "regnum minerale" (divided into 6 classes: terris medicinalibus, lapidibus medicinalibus, salibus fossilibus, metallis & semimetallis, arsenico & sulphure and bituminibus) and part 3 the "regnum animale" (divided in 6 classes: quadrupedia, amphibia, pisces, testacei, aves and insecta) as sources of materials and elements for medicines. For part 2, on the "regnum vegetabile" as a source, Tessari reprints a text by Linnaeus, first published in his Materi medica in Stockholm in 1749.Spine worn, otherwise in good condition.l ICCU, PUVE010973; cf. Blake, p. 447; De Renzi, Storia della medicina in Italia, V, p. 149. Contemporary sprinkled calf over boards, light brown spine label with title in gold, blue sprinkled edges.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Leather spine. Marbled paper over boards. Appears to be a mid-19th century binding on the mid-18th century book. Gold lettering and decorations chipped, as is the leather. Text block good and tight and square. Pages clean, with only minor foxing. First page present in the ti…tle page - there is no half title and there are no blank pages as the front. 2 very nice folding engravings of birds at the rear. 28 un-numbered pages of preface and frontis-matter followed by 411 numbered pages. Text entirely in Latin. This copy has been expertly and meticulously annotated in a neat 18th century hand. Small strips of paper with additions and modifications have been tipped in in the appropriate places (more than 30 of these). Names have been crossed out and re-written (for example, on page 130, the name Scarabaeus has been crossed out and "Melolontha" written in -- in this case reassigning this particular beetle to a different family -- there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of similar changes, all in Latin. In some instances, there are additional notes as well, all done as neatly and scientifically as you could hope. Unfortunately, there is no ownership name in matching ink to hint at who the annotator might have been. There is a name signed on the inside front cover in bluish ink, but it is something different, much more recent. The Swedish edition (this one) of Linnaeus' Natural History of Sweden is scarce - I find copies only at Harvard and a Danish library - although there is a London edition from the same year. Linnaeus was not yet 40 when this was published, though his great Systema Naturae was published nearly 10 years earlier. Linnaeus's system of classification, which is still in use today, was one of the singular great achievements of the Enlightenment. The neat divisions of all living creatures into families, species, classes, etc. set off a frenzy of identification and classification, collection and presentation that has scarcely subsided to this day. This title lists 1,351 species of birds, mammals, plants, shellfish and more, starting with Humans and ending with Lepas and Microcosmus (forms of barnacles and sea squirts) + an appendix with 6 more species. 1 page addenda, descriptions of the plates and index. It could be reasonably argued that this was the first organized field guide & this copy is particularly nice in having hundreds of annotations that show that it was used (every page) and updated.

Hardcover. LINNAEUS, Carolus (1707-1778). Recueil des Vegetaux Utiles en Medecine. Late 18th-early 19th-century. Folio (14 2/8 x 9 2/8 inches). 170 pages of manuscript text, including tables and index listing 475 different specimens. 223 numbered pages of original botanical watercolours, many illustrating more than one specimen…on paper watermarked with a heart containing the initials "RG" (7 pages blank, and many misbound). Late 19th-century half French morocco, title lettered in gilt on the spine (end-papers renewed, extremities scuffed). A FINE AND APPARENTLY ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT, following the order of, describing and illustrating the majority of the plants of Carolus Linnaeus' Materia Medica, Liber I. de Plantis, first published in Stockholm in 1749. Quite possibly by a member of the famous French Lestiboudois family of botanists (Jean-Baptiste, 1715-1804; François Joseph, 1759 1815; and Gaspard Thémistocle 17971876). Linnaeus' Materia medica of 1749 contains the Linnaean names of 535 medicinal plants, several of which were for the first time reduced to their proper genera and species. The current work represents an original attempt to classify herbs with known medicinal properties according to the Linnaean classification system. The plants listed are for the most part common in Western Europe, though some are found in Africa. Each plant has a note with a brief history of each plant, with references to its use in antiquity, and its Latin, French and occasionally German name.

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo., (7 4/8 x 4 6/8 inches). Title-page printed in red and black with engraved device, 17 numbered illustrations on 16 engraved folding plates. Contemporary calf, gilt (quite worn). Provenance: early shelfmarks on front paste-down; with the bookplate of the Warren H. Corning Collection of Horticultural C…lassics on the front paste-down. First edition of volume one only, of an eventual seven "Academic Pleasures", in which Linnaeus collects the dissertations of a number of his students, in this volume there are eighteen delivered between December 1745 to June 1748, each defending one of a series of lectures, mostly delivered by Linnaeus, in order to obtain their doctoral degrees. The topics range from a discussion of one or two individual species of plant, the corals of the Baltic Sea, the amphibians in Prince Gyllenborg's collection, the plants in Joachim Burser's herbarium, the reptiles of Surinam, the economic plants of Sweden and the sexuality of plants. Linnaeus, the celebrated Swedish naturalist and explorer, was the first scientist to propose principles for defining the genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them: binomial nomenclature. His system was so successful that it is still used today for naming new species of plants and animals.

Hardcover. 2 volumes. 8vo., (7 4/8 x 4 4/8 inches). Contemporary half mottled calf, gilt, citron morocco lettering-pieces on the spines. Provenance: with the early ownership inscription of Joan. Nep. Giehl on the front paste-down of each volume; with the early 19th-century book plate of the Seminarii episcopalis ad S. Hippolytum… on the front paste-down of each volume; and the bookplate of the Warren H. Corning Collection of Horticultural Classics also on the front paste-down The eighth edition of Linnaeus' "Genera Plantarum" edited by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber (1739-1810) who, although born in Germany, was a student of Linnaeus at Uppsala in Sweden, taking his degree in 1760. By 1769 he was professor of medicine and botany at Erlangen and later also director of the Erlangen botanical garden. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1787, and knighted in 1791. Schreber's own herbarium formed the basis of today's Botanische Staatssammlung Munchen. Linnaeus, the celebrated Swedish naturalist and explorer, was the first scientist to propose principles for defining the genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them: binomial nomenclature. His system was so successful that it is still used today for naming new species of plants and animals. From its first publication "Genera plantarum" was a huge and immediate success, and is justly considered an integral part of this first stepping stone towards a universal standardised biological nomenclature. Linnaeus himself was proud to boast: "by describing all parts of the fructification with great accuracy and setting up characters on this basis, so that a genus which has not been described in the Linnaean manner is entirely imperfect". Linnaeus compiled his list of genera when he was only 29, while he was curator of the botanical collection of George Clifford (1635-1760), a rich Anglo-Dutch merchant banker who had established a large botanical garden on his estate at Hartekamp, near Haarlem.

Third edition of the "Genera plantarum." listing 1021 genera with their French names added, first published in 1737 in Leiden with 935 genera; and fourth edition of the "Systema naturae", first published in Leiden in 1735.

The first edition of "Systema naturae" had only twelve pages, and with each new edition new plant and animal species were added. The 13th edition was published in 1770 and more than 2000 pages. The work presented a revolutionary way to classify the three kingdoms in nature: the animal, the plant, and stones. Each kingdom was to subdivided into classes, orders, genera, species, and varieties. Linnaeus's classification system has survived in biology, though additional ranks, such as families, have been added to accommodate growing numbers of species.

2 in 1 Bd. 6 Bll., 560 S., 1 Bl., S. 561 - 1200, 16 Bll. Erste Ausgabe dieses wissenschaftlichen Hauptwerks von Carl von Linne (auf dem 1905 in Wien tagenden II. Internationalen Botanischen Kongress wurde der Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung von Species Plantarum als Beginn der modernen Nomenklatur für Pflanzen festgelegt). - Soul…sby 480a. Hulth 89. Heimann 107. Pritzel 5427. Stafleu-C. 4769. Sparrow 136. Hunt 548: "the most important single work in the world"s botanical literature". "In den Species Plantarum von 1753 werden siebentausenddreihundert Arten beschrieben, alle nach dem Sexualsystem geordnet und fast alle von Linné selbst untersucht" (Carter/M. 192). - "Species plantarum was the first work to account for all the kinds of plants then known for the world, to classify them according to a simple system by which anyone can determine their identity, and to provide for each kind a name of two words. This addition of a binominal system of nomenclature to the polynomial system has caused this work to be designated as the starting point for the modern nomenclature of ferns and flowering plants" (Introduction by W. T. Stearn. In: Carl Linnaeus Species plantarum. A facsimile of the first edition 1753). - Carl von Linné hatte die geniale Idee, ein botanisches Klassifizierungssystem basierend auf der Sexualität der Blütenpflanzen zu entwickeln. Er bildete nach Maßgabe von Zahl und Anordnung der Staubgefäße und Griffel 24 Pflanzenklassen. Den ersten Niederschlag fanden seine Überlegungen in der wissenschaftlichen Schrift `Präludia sponsaliorum plantarum`. Die Ausarbeitung dieser Gedanken endete 1753 mit der Veröffentlichung der "Species plantarum". Die Bedeutung dieser Arbeit kann gar nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden, denn Linné präsentierte darin erstmals die binäre Nomenklatur, womit er der modernen Biologie den Weg bereitete. Jede Pflanzenart, später generell jede biologische Art, wird seither mit zwei lateinischen Namen gekennzeichnet. - "The publication of Linnaeus`s Species Plantarum in 1753 is regarded as the starting point for the Latin binomial, or two-word, names of plants. Before his taxonomic system was adopted, there was confusion. For example, the Wild Briar Rose was identified by botanists as Rosa sylvestris alba cum rubore, folio glabro (roughly meaning pinkish white woodland rose with hairless leaves), and Rosa sylvestris inodora seu canina (odorless woodland dog rose). The Linnaean system reduced the confusion by tagging it simply - Rosa canina. Some 5,900 different plant species were labeled in Linnaeus`s Species Plantarum, a work which he himself called `the greatest in botany.` One of note was Linnaea borealis, the hardy twinflower which became a floral talisman for Linnaeus" (www.library.otago.ac.nz). - Durchgehend wasserrandig.
