Munting's Phytographia Curiosa is the most extraordinary botanical work of the pre-Linnean period, with "illustrations that are remarkable for their elegance and originality" (Oak Spring Flora). The plates often feature, architecture, landscapes, urns - with titles on flowing scrolls. This is the second issue of the Latin edition of the author's Naauwkeurige beschryving der aardgewassen (1696) based, in part, on his Waare Oeffning der Planten (1672). Abraham Munting "was an eminent professor of botany and chemistry at the University of Groningen.[he also] founded one of the most extensive botanical gardens of the period, known as the 'Paradise of Groningen', which he directed from 1658 up until his death in 1683. Munting wrote a number of works on medical-botanical topics, but [the present work].enjoyed particular success, at least in part due to the novelty of the plates, which, in a radical departure from.the traditional florilegium, presented its plant species against charming landscape backgrounds.The illustrations are remarkable for their elegance and originality." (Oak Spring Flora, p. 174).

A good copy only, sold with all faults. 'The illustrations are remarkable for their elegance and originality' (Oak Spring Flora 45). This is perhaps the most handsome and influential botanical of its day, with its near-dreamlike depiction of plants suspended above cityscapes and other backgrounds. Munting (1626-1683), was a Dutch botanist and botanical artist, the son of Henricus Munting (1583-1658). He studied under his father and at the universities of Franeker, Utrecht and Leiden, also spending two years in France where he obtained an M.D. degree in Angers. Returning to Groningen in 1651, he joined the staff at the Rijkshogeschool Groningen, which eventually became the University of Groningen. Here he taught for 24 years as professor of botany and chemistry. On his father's death he assumed management of the Hortus Botanicus Groninganus, from 1658 to 1683. His botanist friends sent him seeds from the Dutch East- and West Indies, Africa and the Americas. His daughter, Hester, died after eating Deadly Nightshade from the Garden. Munting subsequently developed a particular interest in the medicinal uses of plants. The present work, Munting's best known, was first published in Dutch as Naauwkeurige Beschryving Der Aardgewassen (1696). Illustrated were trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses of temperate zones, with some tropical and subtropical plants that had been introduced to the Netherlands. Nissen BBI 1429; Hunt 404.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Collegit & adjecit Franciscus Kiggelaer. Amsterdam, Rodericus & Gerhardus Wetsten, 1713. Folio (40 x 25 cm). Half-title, printed title-page, allegorical frontispiece, contemporary half-vellum. Second latin edition. Engraved frontispiece + 245 engravings of plants, usually with scenes on a smaller scale below. Nissen (BBI), 1429; Pritzel, 6559; Hunt (Botanical Books), 404 Abraham Munting published his Waare Oeffening der Planten (Amsterdam, 1672) 4° with just 40 engraved plates. This work grew into a much larger publication, Naauwkeurige Beschryving der Aardgewassn, issued posthumously (Leiden and Utrecht 1696) F°, with enlarged text and 245 plates. Phytographia Curiosa is a further edition, with the Dutch descriptions replaced by lists of Latin synonyms by Franciscus Kiggelaer. The plates are as curious as their subjects. They commonly present the plants far larger than life, oranges huge as pumkins, cyclamens with heavy corms floating lightly in mid-air, gentle geraniums grown into giant trees. The effect is obtained through sketching in classical or idyllic or mountainous little landscapes below. It is a weird and fascinating book. (Hunt).
