Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Lightly used. Lightly soiled and shelf worn DJ. Pencil inscription to FFEP. Rumphius (1627-1702), founder of Indonesian botanical exploration and one of the greatest naturalists of the seventeenth 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 thirty-six species of orchids found on the island of Ambon in eastern Indonesia, plus twelve uncertified ones. His detailed descriptions reflect both the accuracy of a scientist and the sensibility of a poet. This lovely book is the first to gather and translate into English all the sections of Rumphius' The Ambonese Herbal devotedto 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 twenty beautiful line drawings accompany the entries. The volume includes ample 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.

's-Gravenhage, Martinus Nijhoff, 1910. Two parts in one. 8vo (25.0 x 16.2 cm). 489 [327; 162] pp. Original printed wrappers. = Published in the Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch-Indië, being the complete volume 64, or series 7(10). Rumphius (1627-1702) is best known for his posthumous, edited publications Herbarium Amboinense, d'Amboinsche Rariteitkamer and Thesaurus imaginum piscium testaceorum. He enlisted with the Dutch East Indies Company in 1652 and took up residence in Amboina in 1653, but developed problems with his eye-sight. By the time the Herbarium Amboinense was ready for publication in 1670, he had become totally blind. The poor man's bad luck did not cease, because in 1674 his wife was killed in an earthquake and in 1687 his library was destroyed in a fire also incinerating the original drawings for the Herbarium Amboinense. Uncut. Clean, unmarked, as published. Definitely rare in this exceptional and original condition.
