Amsterdam, F. Halma, 1705.Folio. Contemporary vellum. With engraved alligorical frontispiece by Jan Goere, title-page printed in red and black and with engraved vignette by J. Punt, engraved portrait of the author, 5 large engraved vignettes and 60 beautifully engraved plates attributed to Maria Sybilla Merian. (28),340,(43) pp.First published in 1705. - Georg Everhard Rumphius (1628-1702) entered the VOC's service in 1652 and arrived in Ambon in 1653, where he was successively appointed to the ranks of ensign, assistant merchant and merchant and where he died in 1702. He became blind in 1670, but worked on, by help of an assistant. Another disaster followed in 1674 when his wife and daughter died during an earthquake and in 1687 his library, including his manuscripts and drawings, were destroyed by fire. But he started again from the outset. 'G.E. Rumphius, also known as the 'Indian Pliny', was one of the great tropical naturalists of the seventeenth century. Born in Germany, he spent most of his life in the employ of the Dutch East India Company, stationed on the island of Ambon in eastern Indonesia. He wrote two major works; this one, the first modern work on tropical fauna, was published posthumously in Dutch in 1705. A classic text of natural history. The descriptions in The Ambonese curiosity cabinet cover the gamut of organisms found in the seas surrounding Ambon - crabs, shrimps, sea urchins, mussels - as well as minerals and plants. A series of exquisite etchings accompanies the descriptions. This is the first great natural history of tropical marine life. Remarkable for its detailed observations of living animals, habitats, and fisheries, as well as the accuracy of its morphological descriptions and classifications, the entire work reflects Rumphius's practical talents as engineer, merchant, and student of local cultures, as well as pioneer naturalist. Rumphius provides an invaluable window on the richness of tropical nature as it used to be' (from the wrappers of the reprint of this book by E.M. Beekman, 1999). Recent research has proved that most of the plates are after drawings by Maria Sybilla Merian, in our copy they are strong and dark impressions.

Erstausgabe
Amsterdam, François Halma, boekverkoper in Konstantijn de Grote, 1705, (first edition), in-folio, 41,5 cm x 26,8 cm, half title + engraved title + title printed in red & black with engraved vignette + (28)(dedication, preface, table of contents) + engraved portrait + 340 pp + (43)(index), with 5 large engraved vignettes, and 60 full page copper engravings, some of them engraved by Maria Sibylla Merian. Bound in contemporary full vellum, raised back with manuscript title in ink, binding with some slight general soiling, a marginal tear in plate XII and pp.125, plate 29 bound upside down, some small spots in the margin of a few plates at the end but a very fine large paper copy of the first edition of this admirable and epoch making work on conchology. Rumphius a Dutch naturalist born in Hanau (Germany) was employed by the VOC (Dutch East India Company). He spent most of his life on the Island of Amboyna (Ambon). He did not live to see the appearance of his book which met with great difficulties before being published. The author had gone blind and almost all his original notes had been destroyed. He originated most of the names of the common Pacific shells as we know them today and was the first to report on the fatal bites of cone shells. He thus fully deserves the honorary title ''Plinius Indicus'' which adorns the title page of his magnum opus.
