‎A posthumous work, edited by Jacob Samuel Wyttenbach from material gathered by Haller for a new edition of his work «Historia stirpium indigenarum Helvetiae» (1768). The splendid copperplates show accurate illustrations of Swiss plants around the middle of the 18th century. A new edition was published in 1813.Von der 1758 durch den Berner Patrizier Vincenz Bernhard von Tscharner gegründeten Société Typographique verlegte und durch den Berner Pfarrherrn und Botaniker, Jacob Samuel Wyttenbach, besorgte Neuausgabe der prachtvollen Kupfer zu Hallers «Historia stirpium indigenarum Helvetiae» (1768), einer akkuraten Darstellung schweizerischer Pflanzen in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts. “Kein Land konnte sich damals rühmen, seine Flora so ausgezeichnet dargestellt zu besitzen ...” (B. Studer). Schon als Jüngling durch Umgang mit Haller, Sprüngli u.a. für die Naturgeschichte begeistert, widmete sich Herausgeber Wyttenbach (1748-1830) nach vollendetem Theologiestudium mit Vorliebe botanischen Exkursionen. Mit Struve und Deluc befreundet, wurde Wyttenbach einer der bedeutendsten Förderer wissenschaftlicher Forschung in Bern und Mitbegründer wissenschaftlicher Gesellschaften.“Von besonderem Wert sind die Tafeln der Orchideen mit ihrer genauen Wiedergabe der Blütendetails” (Kat. Göttingen A. von Haller, 1977-78), No. 43. Nissen BBI 775 (mentions only 48 plates); Plesch/Sotheby 316; Pritzel 3729; Berner TB (1853), 317 (to Wyttenbach); vgl.

‎This work marks the beginning of scientific teratology. First edition, illustrated with altogether 36 (21 folding) engraved plates, complete. Haller himself esteemed this work as among his best productions. In fine contemporary full calf bindings. “The numerous plates contain his highly exact, clear, and striking representations of anatomical preparations” (Eimas). “With the many scientific corrections which Haller was able to present to anatomists, owing to his exact investigations and to his studies under Albinus, he was bound to make pictorial representations of anatomic preparations the main object of his care. His illustrations are therefore very numerous. They are very clear, vivid, highly exact, and artistic. The greater part of them had been scattered through his many writings and these were later collected by Haller himself under the title «Opera minora...». Haller himself esteemed this work and his «Icones» ... as among his best productions” (Choulant).Garrison-Morton 534.54 (citing part 3): “Reprints and updates Haller's earlier essays on various malformations.
