Latin text. Folio, a fine engraved title page, pp. (120), 236, (6), 1027, 24, with a fine full page engraving of Bauhin ( engraved by Peter Aubry), over 1000 woodcut illustrations, some age-toning and discoloration, heavy on a few pages (mainly early text pages) but overall a very clean and tight copy internally, original blue speckled edges, half-vellum (probably contemporary ?), titled in ink on spine, rubbed and a little worn, a tear to the spine head, slight wear to the base of the spine, one stab-hole near the lower joint. The Hartland Library copy, with labels on the front endpaper; and probably Sir Frank Crisp's before that. RARE. [Hunt 332. Nissen BBI 1309 . The second edition of the 'Opera' edited by Caspar Bauhin, the final and most complete form of Mattioli's texts.

Most of the woodcuts have been copied from the small-size pictures of the Venetian editions. {The Hartland Library was formed by the anthropologist and folklorist Edwin Sydney Hartland, and was a diverse, but major, collection of herbals, archaeology and anthropology. It was donated to Gloucestershire County Council in 1936, and was eventually dispersed around 2010. A manuscript note, and auction catalogue extract, suggests that this was acquired from the Sotheby's sale of Sir Frank Crisp's library, November 9th, 1919. Hartland would still have been actively buying at this point. Crisp had an equally notable library, and a magnificent, if slightly eccentric garden at Friar Park, complete with a six-metre Matterhorn in the rock garden.
