Contemporary vellum; spine in compartments and with later gilt filets, small black floral motifs and a green morocco label, inconspicuous restoration; covers with blind-stamped arabesque centre-pieces, lacking ties, and showing signs of cracking in joints on lower, upper cover, little stained and marked. An excellent copy. As described by Hunt, this is one of the best and most thoughtfully prepared of all the editions of Theophrastus. It is interesting not only because of the brilliance of the editing, but, curiously enough, to the American botanist as well, for involving in the discussion certain species from Virginia, other parts of the New World, and Asia. The illustrations of these plants have been largely overlooked in botanical history, because of their incidental presence in a work which might not be expected to contain anything of the sort. Some were merely borrowed from l Ecluse or de Lobel, but others seem original in this work. (H.H. Bartlett in Fifty-five Rare Books, quoted by Hunt). Richly illustrated edition in excellent condition. Hunt 240.…
