‎Amsterdam, Jacob de Zetter, 1669. 8°. (16), 1156, (12) p. With engr. title by Johann de Meurs. Contemp. vellum.‎

‎Rare edition of 1669 of this very popular description of the world by L. de Linda (1625-1660). After it appeared first in 1655, it was soon re-published and also translated into German and Italian. Particularly in Italy it gained fame proofed by four editions published between 1656 and 1674. The text is largely taken from Pierre d'Avity's "Les empires, royaumes, estats ... et principautez du monde", and the last chapter on "Indiae occidentalis" is from Johann de Laet's "Nieuwe wereld". - Waterstained and soiled on margins at the beginning and the end, few quires lightly browned, short wormholes between p. 923 and 960 on head of inner margin (not affecting text), endpapers heavily soiled and stained.‎

‎First edition, second issue, here in an interesting interim state with “Gödselen” on p. 26 (indicating the second issue) but with p. 25 misspelled as “52” not called for in neither first nor second issue. “Linnaeus’ research work during his mature years began with trips to various Swedish provinces. By order of the parliament, which wanted an inventory of all the natural resources of the country, during three summers in the 1740’s Linnaeus traveled through selected areas to describe them and to search for dyestuffs, minerals, clay, and other economically useful substances. His reports of these expeditions were published as Ölandska och gothländska resa (1745), Västgöta resa (1747), and Skånska resa (1751), all written in Swedish. Nothing escaped his attention on his travels on horseback—plants and insects, runic stones and other ancient remnants, farmers working in the fields and meadows, the changes in the weather. His prose style was simple and strong, sometimes rising to lyrical outbursts or spiced with effective similes.” (DSB) ""Baron C. Hårleman, who had borne the expenses of Linnaeus's expedition to Skåne, had the chance to see the proofs to at least the beginning of the SKÅNSKA RESA. There he read (on p. 26) with indignation that Linnaeus gave his blessing to the old Swedish custom of cleaning the ground by setting fire to the stubble (""svedjande"" - a practice that he himself had condemned in print). Linnaeus decided to have a new version printed in which the offended passage would be replaced by some innocuos observation on manure (""Gödselen""). A fold was therefore printed as part of the final sheet of the book with an article on ""Gödselen"" instead of the article on ""Svedjor"". The binder was supposed to cancel the fold with the article on ""Svedjor"" and replace it with the inner fold from the final sheet. In very few copies this was not done.""

‎First edition of Linné’s famous account of his travels to Gotland and Öland in which his observations of the flora, fauna, and geological features of the two Swedish islands in the Baltic Sea was first presented. Ten days after Linné was appointed Professor at University of Uppsala, he began his expedition to the island provinces of Öland and Gotland with six students from the university to look for plants useful in medicine. First they travelled to Öland and stayed there until late June, when they sailed to Visby in Gotland. Linné and the students stayed on Gotland for about a month, and then returned to Uppsala. During this expedition, they found 100 previously unrecorded plants. Like his ‘Flora Lapponica’ it contained both zoological and botanical observations as well as observations concerning the culture in Öland and Gotland. Soulsby 202Hulth 44‎

‎L'expédition Ryckmans - Philby - Lippens est une expédition scientifique belge effectuée en 1951 en Arabie par l'Université catholique de Louvain, sous les auspices du roi Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud. Unique en son genre, elle dura trois mois et eût pour objectif de trouver, photographier et analyser un grand nombre d'inscriptions et de pétroglyphes d'époque pré-islamique, encore très peu étudiés à l'époque. L'itinéraire de l'expédition traversa le désert de Djeddah à Riyadh, sur plus de 5400 kilomètres, reliant puits et anciennes routes caravanières. Cette expédition est réputée être la seule mission scientifique ayant systématiquement exploré lArabie centrale. Elle a permis la constitution dun fonds documentaire, notamment épigraphique, unique, révélant des éléments très méconnus, et parfois disparus, de lhistoire de lArabie préislamiqu‎
