Voyage dans l'Afrique septentrionale, depuis le Caire jusqu'à Mourzouk
Dentu | Paris 1803 | 12.50 x 20 cm | 2 tomes en un volume relié
Edition originale de la traduction de Langlès depuis l'Allemand, accompagnée de 2 grandes cartes dépliantes sur papier fort. Langlès est également responsable des diverses notes et du mémoire sur les oasis, composé d'après les auteurs arabes. Une autre édition française parue en 1802 et fut faite d'après la traduction anglaise, fautive. Introduction par William Young, président de la Société Africaine de Londres. Plusieurs mémoires viennent enrichir l'édition : Eclaicissements sur la géographie de l'Afrique par Rennel. Mémoire sur les oasis. Observations sur la langue de Syouah. Notice sur la langue berbère (Conjugaison, grammaire, vocabulaire). Reliure en demi veau vert d'époque. Dos lisse orné. Titre doré. Fente au mors inférieur en tête sur 3 cm. Pertes de papier marbré sur le plat inférieur. Bon exemplaire, bien frais. Hornemann se mit au service de la Société Africaine de Londres avec pour mission de parachever la découverte de l'Afrique du nord par l'Egypte. Après avoir appris l'Arabe, il se rendit au Caire et rencontra le Général Bonaparte qui lui facilita son entrée en Afrique du nord. Se faisant passer pour un marchand mahométan, il joignit une caravane en 1798,ce qui lui permit d'atteindre les oasis de Siwa, Aujilla et Mourzouq. il y vécut jusqu'en juin 1799, puis il rejoignit Tripoli d'où il expédia le récit de ses aventures à Londres.Le consul britannique à Tripoli fut amené à penser qu'en juin 1803, Hornemann était à Caina (Katsina), dans le Nord duNigeria, en bonne santé et vénéré commemarabout. Un rapport dira plus tard (en 1819) que l'explorateur s'était rendu parmi le peupleNupe, où il était mort. - Photographies et détails sur www.Edition-Originale.com -
Forsøg til en dansk oeconomisk Plantelære.
Kiøbenhavn, Popp, 1796. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with gilt lettering to spine. Binding with light wear. A nice and clean copy. (6), 730 pp.
Rare first edition of Hornemann’s pioneering treatise on Danish economic botany - the earliest systematic attempt to classify native Danish plants based on their practical use in agriculture, horticulture, and industry. Issued as the result of a prize essay competition held by the newly founded Naturhistorieselskab (Natural History Society), the work marked a turning point in the practical application of botanical knowledge in Denmark. Jens Wilken Hornemann (1770–1841) later became one of Denmark’s most influential botanists. Trained under Martin Vahl at the University of Copenhagen and the Naturhistorieselskab he was appointed lecturer at the Botanical Garden in 1801, and succeeded Vahl as editor of Flora Danica in 1804. Hornemann's Plantelære remained the principal Danish handbook of economic botany until Johan Lange’s mid-century publications. As such, it played a foundational role in the systematization and dissemination of applied botanical knowledge in Denmark during the Enlightenment and early 19th century.
