COLONNA, Fabio (1567-1650) - Minus cognitarum rariorumque nostro coelo orientium stirpium Ekphrasis. Item de aquatilibus allisque nonnullis animalibus libellus et de purpura ab animali testaceo fusa. Rome: Jacob Mascardi, 1616.

Very rare first edition of De Purpura and Pars Altera. This work by Fabio Colonna, a member of the Accademia dei Lincei, is of particular importance both for the history of botany and typography as he is the first botanist to abandon wood engravings for copper engravings, which allowed him greater refinement of detail in the representation of the plants.

3 parts in one volume, 4to (221 x 159mm). Engraved title with the coats of arms of the dedicatees, initials and woodcut headpieces, 152 full-page engravings of which 131 are of plants and the remainder of marine life, insects and one is of a hippopotamus (without portrait of the author although Nissen does not mention it, minute marginal notes in pen, slight traces of soiling and scattered stains, tiny scattered wormholes). Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on spine (modern endpapers).
