| item 29390 | Anon. - ( Linnaeus )
— Korte verhandeling van de boomen, heesters en houtagtige kruid-gewassen, Welke in de Nederlandsche Lugtstreek de winterkoude konnen uitstaan... opgesteld na de Letter-orde der latynse naamen, aanwyzende wat Klas en rang zy hebben in het samenstel der planten van den Heer en Ridder Linnaeus... Mechelen, Petrus-Josephus Hanicq, 1790, in-8°, xii + 237 pp, index, 1 folding table representing Linnaeus' system with 24 ills., contemporary boards, gilt lettering on spine, speckled edges. Boards a bit dustsoiled and discolored but a fine copy. Linnaeus, 1707 - 1778, had started publishing his system in Holland, in 1735, so his theories were known in the Low Countries. The fact Dutch is used for this scientific study is remarkable, and terms like Blad-wyzer for index and Samenstel for system show the author to be language-conscious. Rare, we could not trace the author, neither in Pritzel nor in Johnston (Cleveland collection), nor in the catalogue ''Hortus Belgicus'' where a chapter is devoted to 18th botany in Flanders. price: €800.00 |

Contemporary full vellum, contemporary name made illegible on title leaf, but a fine copy. First edition of Pieter de la Court's treatise on gardening, hothouses, and pineapple and citrus fruit cultivation. Pieter de la Court van der Voort, a cloth merchant at Leiden, discusses in this book theoretical aspects of garden design. He published the book in 1737 based on 50 years of experience. He practised his ideas at his estate "Allemansgeest" (today's "Berbice") at Voorschoten near Leiden... Besides a theoretical treatise de la Court also gives much practical information on gardening. He discusses amply the cultivation of the pineapple, one of his favourite subjects. He grew these plants in quantities and kept them during the winter in a heated glasshouse and in summer in the "tan frame". He is considered to have been the first to successfully cultivate the pineapple on a large scale in northern Europe. Nine plates illustrate citrus fruit, pineapples, and a tuberose. Five of these are by Jan Wandelaar. The other four are by J.C. Philips. The remaining six plates comprise one plan and five designs of glasshouses, by J. van der Spyk and F. van Bleyswyck.

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 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. price: €10000.00 |

A fine copy. First edition (of two) of the first important study on mushrooms. The author based this study on an unpublished manucript of Clusius (de l'Ecluse) but included much original material. Of the 349 depicted funghi or plants 130 are made by the author. It is also the first botanical work edited in the Low Countries with copper engraved illustrations. The author published, against strong humanist tradition, this study in the Dutch language. He comments in his preface that he did this because he wanted to be understood by the common people: farmers, kitchen servants, cooks, etc. who prepared mushrooms. In the middle of the 17th century funghi as human food had become popular in Flanders under the influence of mostly Italian merchants who resided in Antwerp. (see Philippen L.: F.v.S.
