Bauhin and Cherler, Historia plantarum universalis. - Lot 400
Bauhin and Cherler, Historia plantarum universalis.
Yverdon, 1650-1651. 3 volumes in-folio, [2]-front.-[8]-601-[1bl]-440-9-[3bl], front.-[8]-398-[398a-398o]-[2bl]-[399-1074]-[12]p & front.-[8]-212-882-[2bl]-12p.
First edition illustrated with over 3,500 woodcuts.
This edition had several printings, with numerous pagination errors. Our copy is complete with the table to Volume III, and is not from the first edition (the Eric Zink bookshop accurately describes a copy from the first edition, the differences being in Volume III). The pagination is sometimes curious, but conforms to the BnF copy (visible on gallica). Our copy therefore appears to be complete.
Full basane, spine ribbed, wood fillets on boards. Yellowed paper, some partial dampening, numerous small wormholes in the boards continuing a little into the paper, leather missing, but solid binding.
Uncommon work.
