Some light mellowing to vellum, a few scuffs to boards, contents clean and crisp, an excellent copy. Claude Saumaise (15 April 1588 3 September 1653), also known by the Latin name Claudius Salmasius, was a French classical scholar. The "Pliniane exercitationes" is his most famous work, in which the author, through the commentary on the work of Solinus Polyhistor, known by the title "Collectanea rerum memorabilium", studies its derivation from Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis. Solinus, taking up the works of Pliny, Pomponius Mela, Suetonius, and Terentius Varro, describes the strangest and most wonderful things inherent in peoples, customs, animals, and plants, illustrating them within a geographical framework. Mommsen has theorized that Solinus's work may have transmitted passages from Latin authors completely unknown to us. Solinus's work, in addition to Roman history, contains the description of part of Africa, Asia Minor, Arabia, India, and the Parthian Empire. Saumaise's commentary is considered the most important commentary on the "Collectanea rerum memorabilium." The third volume, entitled "Exercitationes de Homonymis Hyles Iatricae," deals with the botanical nomenclature of medicinal plants, with an essay dedicated to the identification and etymology of manna and saccarum. Salmasius learned Arabic to qualify himself for the botanical part of his task. 'In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinus's Polyhistor (also known as De mirabilibus mundi), or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his contemporaries, it is a monument of learning and industry. Salmasius learned Arabic to qualify himself for the botanical part of his task. After declining overtures from Oxford, Padua and Bologna, in 1631 he accepted the professorship formerly held by Joseph Scaliger at Leiden.As a commentator and verbal critic, Salmasius is entitled to very high rank. His notes on the Augustan History and Solinus display not only massive erudition but massive good sense as well; his perception of the meaning of his author is commonly very acute, and his corrections of the text are frequently highly felicitous. His manly independence was shown in many circumstances, and the bias of his mind was liberal and sensible. He was accused of sourness of temper; but the charge, if it had any foundation, is extenuated by the wretched condition of his health' (Encyclopaedia Britannica). Brunet V 92-93 - "Ouvrage estimé".

Complet de ses 202 planches gravées hors texte et du portrait du capitaine Cook en frontispice du deuxième voyage (52, 63 et 87 pl.). *Exceptionnelle reliure en cuir de renne russe, dont le prestige tient beaucoup à l histoire insolite de sa découverte et de son sauvetage d une épave oubliée au fond des eaux pendant près de deux siècles ! Le brigantin danois « Die Frau Metta Catharina von Flensburg », en provenance de Saint-Pétersbourg pour Gênes avec une cargaison de chanvre et de peaux, s était échoué dans le détroit de Plymouth en 1786 ; et ce n est qu en 1973 que des plongeurs archéologues (the British Sub-Aqua Club), en quête d un autre navire, l ont découvert par hasard. Cet événement a donné lieu à une spectaculaire vente aux enchères, où relieurs et libraires se sont portés acquéreurs d un ensemble de peaux de première qualité, dont celle qui a servi à relier, avec une grande maîtrise, notre exemplaire signé du relieur canadien Courtland Benson. Le remarquable et surprenant état de conservation des ballots de peaux que le brigantin contenait (certaines de la taille de l animal lui-même, avec la queue et la tête, et marquées des initiales du tanneur) est dû à la méthode russe traditionnelle de tannage qui, en trempant le cuir dans un bain d écorces de bouleau, le rendait résistant à la moisissure et lui vaut une réputation sans égale auprès des bibliophiles, surtout anglais. La peau du renne très résistante, souple et agréable au toucher se prête très bien aux ornements tels que les dorures ou les incrustations, et son séjour biséculaire dans la boue noire où il a été découvert n a fait que renforcer sa solidité. Sa couleur varie du rouge bordeaux épais à une couleur terre de Sienne plus légère, comme pour notre exemplaire (Cf. The Wreck of the Metta Catharina, Garbett G. & Skelton I. 1987 et The International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, Blackwell, Oxford 2010, vol. 39, no2, pp. 235-257 [23 pages (article)]). Very nice set. Complet set of the best editions. "Now, this book has quite an amazing story : In 1786, the Die Frau Metta Catherina brigantine left St. Petersbourg with a cargo of hemp and leather. The latter was no ordinary leather, but Russia leather its typical crosshatched grain, tanned with willow bark and curried with birch oil what the New York Times magazine calls a top-of-the-line luxury. This leather was renown for its unique perfume, its resistance to water and, as it seems, for being insect-repellent. Captain Twedt who was the skipper of the Die Frau Metta Catherina back in 1786, was aiming to Genoa. But he never went beyond Plymouth Sound. Torn from her anchorage by a sudden storm, the Metta Catherina eventually sank to a depth of about 100 feet. The vessel and cargo entirely lost, read a contemporary article; crew saved. The cargo, including rolls of Russia leather, quietly remained underwater for the following 187 years, until some members of a local diving club discovered the ship. Brought to the surface, the rolls of leather proved to be somehow well preserved. Mr. Brown, who happened to commercialize them, stated : ''The hides on the outer edges of the rolls, as well as others that were disturbed as the vessel sank, had all deteriorated badly. The inner hides in most of the rolls were in a remarkable state of preservation, protecte.
