FIRST EDITION, "ONE OF THE FINEST BIRD BOOKS ISSUED TO THAT DATE AND ONE OF THE MOST SUMPTUOUS PUBLICATIONS OF THE 18TH CENTURY IN ITALY" (Jackson, Dictionary of Bird Artists). Manetti was a physician and director of the Florentine Botanical Gardens from 1749-1782. He worked almost exclusively from real specimens, beginning with the extensive collection of Marquis Giovanni Gerini. The result was one of the largest surveys of ornithology attempted up to that date, a work which became "the flamboyant forerunner of the splendid ornithological folios which were to appear in the nineteenth century. The production of its five massive folio volumes must have been one of the most remarkable publishing ventures ever undertaken in Florence. Begun in 1767 and completed ten years later, it was larger, better engraved and more vividly coloured than any previous book on birds, notable for its lively posturing of the specimens which seem to reflect 'the habits and mannerisms of contemporary Italian society" (Dance, The Art of Natural History, p. 70). REFERENCES: Ayer/Zimmer. P. 241; Fine Bird Books (1990) p.120; McGill/Wood, p. 450; Nissen IVB 588 PROVENANCE: contemporary gilt initials "F.B." at the foot of each spine; remains of later printed paper shelf labels at the foot of each spine (L64F27A-B).…
