Contemporary calf. Zustand: Good. Second edition. Folio (37.7 by 24.2 cm). [28], 187 pp. Engraved half-tile; engraved headpieces, initials, head- and tailpieces; 71 full-page engraved plates (1 folding). Contemporary calf (with mild erosion/rubbing), spine lettered and tooled in gilt. Light to moderate dampstain at top margin extending several inches down the gutter. Mild worm-tracing at fore-margin last fifty leaves (only occasionally affecting plates), else a good, amply-margined copy, complete with all plates noted in the printer's list. Second edition of this highly influencial and copiously illustrated work on the craft of ornamental wood turning, first published at Lyons in 1701. The son of a carpenter and woodturner, Charles Plumier (1646-1701) entered the monstery of the Minims at Marseilles, where he excelled in the study of the sciences, particularly mathematics and physics, under the tutelage of father Emmanuel Maignan, who was himself a master turner. Along with documenting the history of lathes from ancient times to the his own era, Plumier provides detailed illustrations of their various types and functions, along with additional tools and paraphernalia. L'Art de Tourner quickly became a standard reference for wood turning. Plumier is perhpas even better known for his botanical explorations (1689-1695) in the West Indies as the royal botanist for king Louis XIV of France; these researches are documented in his massive Nova Plantarum Americanarum Genera (1703-1704). A note on the plates: The placement of the 71 plates is noted on the leaf facing the opening of the main text; with three exceptions, plate content is not described. While the list notes plate numbers in Roman (I-LXIX; LXXIII; and LXXXII), in fact 66 of the plates are numbered in Arabic, three are unnumbered (nos. 66, 68, 69), and two employ other symbols (no. 56 - diamond; no. 67 - star). The placement list indicates that four plates (IX, XLII, LXXIII, and LXXXII) may each be inserted at two locations, though they make only one appearance in this copy. Provenance and annotations: Bookplate of Warren Greene Ogden, Jr., noting this title from the portion of his library comprising the history of tool building. Full title: L'Art de Tourner, ou de Faire en Perfection Toutes Sortes d'Ouvrages au Tour.

As the New World unfurled its infiniteness to Europe, its Edenic botanical bounty became an object of desire as well as of curiosity. Fr. Charles Plumier O.M. (1646-1704) was botaniste du roi to Louis XIV, and acted as an agent of that nascent covetousness. The Description was Plumier's first publication based on his his voyages to the Antilles (i.e., the West Indies, viz. the islands of the Caribbean). He would make three trips in total, and eventually publish his magnum opus, the Nova plantarum americanarum genera (1703-1704), but the Description fueled France's immense interest in American flora, especially the ferns. Plumier's reputation among botanists is unrivalled; Linnaeus accepted his taxonomy with practically no changes, and wrote glowingly of his work; he named the genus Plumeria in his honor. At his death, he left a substantial trove of material -- text and drawings -- for future work. Indeed, his drawings are of as much value as his botanical descriptions; he has several modes of drafting, but some of the most striking plates show a simplification and directness informed by his botanical expertise. There are two issues of the first edition; this is the first (very rare indeed), distinguished by the transposition of a letter of the date: M. DC. CXIII instead of M. DC. XCIII. An owner has corrected this. The armorial binding -- as well as the inclusion of Louis XIV's cipher on the spine -- points to royal involvement if not ownership (the BnF still holds the copy from the royal library: FRBNF31124663). The king would often commission a certain number of copies of works (especially by authors with a royal connection or patronage) to be bound by the royal binder in order to be distributed at his discretion. The original recipient is unknown; the owner whose signature is difficult to decipher who owned the book in Paris in 1771 is unlikely to have been alive in 1693. Benoît Vaivolet (1734-1828) was himself a botanist of note, and a collector of botanical works not (merely) for their beauty but for their use in his own research and publication. Active in the Linnaean Society of Lyon (he was seneschal-lieutenant for the bailiwick of Villefranche (sur Saône) in Beaujolais, about 16 miles north of Lyon), he went on plant-collecting and -identifying missions throughout the region. His notes at the beginning (and, perhaps, throughout) make connections to the works of Linnaeus and Wildenow i.a., as well as to other works of Plumier's.

Botaniste et voyageur-naturaliste français, le père Charles Plumier (1646-1704), de l'Ordre des Minimes, était un spécialiste de la flore des Antilles et ses découvertes sont considérables. C'est lui qui le premier a donné aux plantes le nom de personnalités diverses, tel le bégonia pour Michel Bégon. Il laissa derrière lui de nombreux travaux tel cet "art de tourner", bel ouvrage alors précurseur.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. folio. pp. 4 p.l., 94, [8], [1 leaf]. with half-title. large engraved title vignette. engraved headpiece & initial. 108 engraved plates after drawings by Plumier. new half calf over later 18th century bds., endpapers preserved (edges rubbed, marginal browning to some of the plates & light spotting to first few leaves but overall a nice wide-margined copy). engraved armorial bookplate of John Amory Lowell. First Edition, Second Issue, with the corrected date on the title-page. Plumier made three separate expeditions to the Caribbean, in 1689, 1693, and 1695. On the first of these he accompanied physician Joseph Surian; on the last two he travelled alone as 'botaniste du roi'. He discovered, drew, and described hundreds of new species, and left behind over 6,000 detailed drawings of West Indian plants. Many of Plumier's generic names were adopted by Linnaeus and are still in use today, among them Fuchsia, Caesalpinia, and Magnolia. The present work, based on his second trip, was his first botanical publication. Included are many plates showing ferns and clematis. "Plumier was one of the first naturalists interested in the Antilles. He is known for his excellent descriptions and drawings of a great number of species. Although Plumier's herbarium was lost in a shipwreck, his drawings and Surian's herbarium on which Plumier collaborated are extant. Plumeria, an American tree or shrub of the family Apocynaceae, was named in honour of Plumier." (DSB) European Americana 693/137. Hunt 389. JCB p. 275. Nissen BBI 1544. Pritzel 7213. Sabin 63455.

"Le Pere Plumier, a monk in the order of St. Francesco di Paula, was an important botantical traveller. Tournefort and he became friends and they herborized together throughout the Midi. After that, Plumier's travels included the Antilles and several long voyages to other islands in the West Indies and to America, where he discovered, drew, and described hundreds of new plants, many of which are shown in his own books, though much of his work had to remain unpublished until Boerhaave and Jean Burmann were able to edit part of his papers, and publish them as the Plantarum Americanarum Fascisculi X in 1755-60" (Hunt). "Plumier was one of the first naturalists interested in the Antilles. He is known for his excellent descriptions and drawings of a great number of species. Although Plumier's herbarium was lost in a shipwreck, his drawings and Surian's herbarium on which Plumier collaborated are extant. Plumeria, an American tree or shrub of the family Apocynaceae, was named in honour of Plumier" (DSB). European Americana 693/137; Hunt 389. JCB p. 275. Nissen BBI 1544. Pritzel 7213. Sabin 63455.
