Contact seller5-star sellerTwo volumes. Folio. (14 3/8 x 9 1/8 inches). Second French edition. Half-title to vol.1 only, titles in red and black with engraved vignette, 2752 woodcuts. Contemporary calf, spines richly gilt, all edges red A fine copy of this monumental work compiled by a pupil of Rondelet and originally published in Latin in 1586-87. This e…dition is the most complete one in the French language, a vast illustrated synthesis of Renaissance botanical, medical, and philological knowledge. First published in Latin, Dalechamps' Historia generalis plantarum gathered the botanical knowledge of classical, Arabic, medieval, and Renaissance authors into eighteen books. Dalechamps studied medicine at Montpellier under Guillaume Rondelet and later served as physician at the Hôtel-Dieu in Lyon, a city whose regional flora is described in the work extensively. The French version, translated by Jean Des Moulins, brought this large scholarly compilation into the vernacular medical and botanical literature of seventeenth-century France. The work describes plants by their names in different languages, their species, form, origin, season, natural temperament, and medicinal virtues. Its importance lies in its breadth and in its attempt to impose order on a large body of plant knowledge before Linnaean taxonomy. Dalechamps drew on ancient authorities including Theophrastus, Dioscorides, Galen, and Pliny, and on modern herbalists such as Fuchs, Mattioli, Dodoens, Pena, Lobel, and Clusius. The indices and tables of names made the book useful as both a medical reference and a botanical repertory. "Dalechamps is considered by some authorities to have been one of the most erudite of the French botanists of the 16th century. His book is a compilation of the botanical knowledge available at that date and is important as it shows another grouping attempt at a classification of the plants which he described. A number of woodcuts were especially made for the book from plants sent to the author by Lobel, l'Ecluse, and others, but for the most part were taken from previously published works." (Hunt 154).

(64V1A) FIRST LATIN EDITION of a seminal illustrated work on early North America, one of the best visual records of Native Americans before the nineteenth century, containing an early landmark map of Florida. John Matthew Baxter describes it as ".the most remarkable and important map, which has been preserved from the sixteenth century maps, of that part of the East coast which lies between Cape Hatteras and Cape Florida.[it is] the first French map to show Florida.[and is] considered the most important map of Florida." Despite its inaccuracies (the northern coastline is notably shown too far east), the map exerted considerable influence on cartographers in the following century. The narrative represents the second part of De Bry's Grand Voyages. In the mid-1560s, the French made four abortive attempts to establish a Huguenot settlement in Florida: the first in 1562 led by Jean Ribault with René Goulaine de Laudonnière second in command; Laudonnière's voyage of 1564; Ribault's second expedition of 1565; and Dominique de Gourgue's 1567 mission to exact revenge on the Spanish. Le Moyne was appointed the artist to accompany the second-and ill-fated-expedition (1564-1565). Le Moyne's extraordinary illustrations examine in detail the rites and customs of the Timucua Indians, with plates devoted to their religious practices, methods of warfare, costume, agriculture, cuisine, architecture, games, marriage ceremonies, and other celebrations. Included is the famous depiction of the Indians hunting while cloaked in the full hides of deer and wrestling with alligators. The final plate depicts the killing of colonist Pierre Gambie, which presaged the doom of the nascent French settlement at Fort Caroline (present day Jacksonville). Seen as a threat by the Spanish to the route of their treasure ships, the French colonists there were ruthlessly massacred in September 1565 by a force led by Pedro Menendez. Miraculously Le Moyne and Laudonnière escaped to safety, arriving at Swansea Bay in November 1565 and Paris in 1566. Their struggles were not publicized until 1586 when L'Histoire notable de la Floride, containing accounts of the first three expeditions based largely on Laudonnière's letters and an unsigned account of De Gourgue's voyage, was published in Paris. Later that year, master engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry met with Le Moyne in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain the illustrations to accompany a new edition of Laudonnière's narrative. After Le Moyne's death in 1589, De Bry purchased the watercolors from his widow and produced the present work.

Ownership entry (repeated several times) of the pharmacist and surgeon Jacques Gassal, who bought the book in 1748 and still owned it in 1755.

DD3 not touching the text, small loss of paper on the outer margin of l. dd2 not affecting the text, some scattered foxing and staining, but all in all a very good, genuine copy. First French edition, in the translation by Jean Desmoulins (1530-1620?), considered as most complete up to that date. The first Latin edition had appeared in 1586-87, while a second enlarged French edition will be published in Lyon in 1653. ?Dalechamp is considered by some authorities to have been one of the most erudite of the French botanists of the 16th century.

A number of woodcuts were especially made for the book from plants sent to the author by Lobel, L'Ecluse, and others, but for the most part were taken from previously published works? (Hunt, 154). Dalechamps' work is ?regarded as one of the most complete botanical compilations of its time and is supposed to be the first to describe much of the unique botany of the region around Lyons? (Johnston/Cleveland Collections, 129) Jacques Dalechamp was a pupil of Guillaume Rondelet at Montepellier, where he graduated in 1547, and a regular correspondent of, among others, Conrad Gesner, Joseph Justus Scaliger, Robert Constantin, and Jean Fernel. In 1552 he moved to Lyon, where he became physician at the Hôtel-Dieu. Italian Union Catalogue, IT\ICCU\SBTE\000143; Pritzel, 2035; Nissen, 447.

Internally toned with occasional early annotations and stamps of the Rupertia Heidelberg student society to title page and pastedown. $2,500. * This volume represents a landmark of Legal Humanism, uniting the core commentaries of Jacques Cujas, the undisputed leader of the Mos Gallicus (the "French Way") of legal study. As the founder of the Historical School of Roman Law, Cujas revolutionized jurisprudence by treating the Corpus Juris Civilis not as a static set of medieval rules, but as a living historical document. By applying rigorous philological criticism, he stripped away centuries of cluttered medieval "glosses" to recover the original intent of the classical Roman jurists. The first work, the Paratitla, provided the definitive structural guide to Justinian's Code and Digest, remaining a standard reference for three centuries. The second work, Ad Africanum, is a brilliant display of Cujas's "detective work," wherein he reconstructs and clarifies the notoriously difficult legal cases (Quaestiones) of the 2nd-century jurist Sextus Caecilius Africanus. Published by Johann Gymnich, this 1588 edition marks the critical northward migration of Humanist legal thought from the universities of France into the Holy Roman Empire. This intellectual transmission eventually birthed the German Historical School of the 19th century. The elaborate 1592 binding suggests this copy was a prestige acquisition for a contemporary scholar shortly after its printing. Its later provenance in the library of the Rupertia Heidelberg-one of Germany's most elite and oldest student corporations-underscores the book's enduring role in the rigorous legal education of the German elite during the 1800s.
