Philosophia botanica, in qua explicantur fundamenta botanica. - [""HIS MOST INFLUENTIAL WORK""]
Stockholm, G. Kiesewetter, 1751. 8vo. In contemporary half calf. Extremities with wear. Boards with scratches with loss of the marbled paper. Capitals chipped and leather on spine cracked. Ex-libris pasted on to pasted down front end-paper. Occassional browning throughout. (6), 362 pp. + frontispiece and 11 plates. The portrait (frontispiece), present here, was only added to a few copies. Complete copies with portrait and all 11 plates are uncommon.
First edition of this first textbook of descriptive systematic botany and botanical Latin. It also contains Linnaeus's first published description of his binomial nomenclature. ‘Philosophia Botanica marks a developmental stage in Linnaeus's botanical philosophy, expanding upon concepts initially presented in his ‘Fundamenta Botanica’ (1736) and ‘Critica Botanica’ (1737). The book also establishes a basic botanical terminology. “Continuing his study on the classification of plants, Linnaeus published [the present work]. In this he attempted to organize a natural system based on structure, but this work was never completed” (Sparrow 135) “Linnaeus’ main mission was to complete his reform of botany. In the work produced during his stay in Holland he had established the principles, maintained more or less unchanged for the rest of his life, but they still had to be developed and put into practice. In 1751 he published Philosophies botanica, his most influential work but actually only an expanded version of Fundamenta botanica. In it Linnaeus dealt with the theory of botany, the laws and rules that the botanist must follow in order to describe and name the plants correctly and to combine them into higher systematic categories. At the same time he struggled with the enormous undertaking of cataloging all of the world’s plant and animal species and giving each its correct place in the system.” (DSB) Sparrow 135 Soulsby 437 Hulth p. 78.

Voor Muriel Emsens is fotografie niet alleen een beroep, het is een passie. Met haar foto's brengt ze een ode aan de gezichten, de landschappen, de sfeer en het kleine geluk van het alledaagse. Daarnaast werkt ze onvermoeibaar aan het archiveren van de plantenwereld, een artistiek oeuvre dat in alle eenzaamheid en tegen een rustig ritme tot stand komt. In dit boek toont ze ons hoe betoverend de natuur kan zijn. Haar po tische, geometrische, botanische of esthetische macro-opnamen van solitaire of volgens kleur, textuur of vorm gegroepeerde planten en bloemen, zijn nu eens abstract, dan weer hyperrealistisch. Ze zijn echter vooral n grote ode aan het leven. De foto's worden ingeleid door verschillende auteurs, die de lezer genoeglijk onderhouden over botanica en ecologie, maar ook over de filosofie van de tuinman en de relatie tussen de mens en de natuur. Zij bezingen de liefde voor het leven en willen in iedereen de ge nspireerde kunstenaar, het verwonderde kind, de gepassioneerde tuinman of de botanicus die gefascineerd is door harmonie wakker maken.
BOTANICA ACOTILEDONI LAMINARIEE Durvillea utile Durvillaea utilis (Bory)
1831
Eccellente incisione creata dal maestro Pierre Jean Francis Turpin. Le scritte indicanti la specie e la descrizione della pianta o animale sono in italiano e/o latino, e provengono dalla prima edizione italiana del Dizionario di scienze naturali edito da Battelli nel 1831. Quest'opera imponente era composta da 29 volumi ed era corredata da centinaia di incisioni che rappresentavano tutto il mondo animale e vegetale. L'opera deriva da un eccellente lavoro di luminari del XVIII secolo supportati dal Re francese Louis XV in seguito guidati dallo stesso Turpin, considerato al tempo il più grande incisore di botanica. La maggior parte delle incisioni sono firmate Turpin & Pretre. Le incisioni sono veramente eccezionali con una grande dovizia di particolari e dipinte a mano.

The engravings are written in latin and italian and come from the first italian edition of Dictionary of natural sciences edited by Battelli in 1831.

This work derives from an excellent work of luminaries of the 18th century supported by the french King Louis XV and then directed by the same Turpin that was considered as the greatest botanical engraver of his time. The most of his engravings are signed Turpin & Pretre. The engravings are made in an excellent way with fine details and coloured by hand. Very white strong paper of good quality. In good condition.
