orig.cloth Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper. 22x14cm, li,172 pp "A translation of Georgius Everhardus Rumphius's 17th-century study of tropical orchids. Rumphius (1627-1702), founder of Indonesian botanical exploration and one of the greatest naturalists of the 17th century, was the first to describe tropical orchids in a Western… language. Within the pages of his monumental seven-volume "Ambonese Herbal", written in Dutch, he included descriptions of 36 species of orchids found on the island of Ambon in eastern Indonesia, plus 12 uncertified ones. His detailed descriptions reflect both the accuracy of a scientist and the sensibility of a poet. This volume gathers and translates into English all the sections of "The Ambonese Herbal" that are devoted to orchids. For each entry, Rumphius describes the plant, names it according to a pre-Linnaean system of nomenclature, gives its locality, and details its medicinal and non-medicinal uses. More than 20 line drawings accompany the entries. The volume includes notes to illuminate the text and an informative introduction that tells the life of Rumphius, a remarkable collector- naturalist who overcame fire, shipwreck and blindness to produce his masterwork" - Publisher's description. Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper.

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.
