Lot 1755 | Aldrovandi, U.
Aldrovandi, U.
De animalibus insectis libri septem, cum singulorum iconibus ad vivum expressis. Bologna, C.Ferroni 1638. Fol. Mit gest. Tit., ca. 700 Textholzschn. u. Holzschn.-Druckerm. 5 Bl. (inkl. Kupfertit.), 767 S., 22 Bl. Prgt. d. Zt. (Einige kl. Läs.).
Nissen, ZBI 66. Eales I, 348. Ceresoli 39. vgl. Horn-Sch. 125. Dritte Ausgabe mit den Originalholzschnitten (die beiden Frankfurter Nachdrucke nicht gerechnet). - Neben der "Ornithologa" das einzige von Aldrovandis großen zoologischen Werken, das erstmals (1602) noch zu seinen Lebzeiten erschien und von Zutaten und Änderungen späterer Bearbeiter frei blieb. - Ein gutes Exemplar in zeitgenössischem Einband von Aldrovandis entomologischem Werk, dem einzigen zoologischen Werk, zusammen mit dem der Ornithologie gewidmeten Werk, das der Autor zu Lebzeiten 1602 fertiggestellt und veröffentlicht hat. Es handelt sich um die dritte Ausgabe, deren Druckdatum auch auf dem Kolophon bestätigt wird. Das Werk ist voll von detaillierten Holzschnitten, die Insekten und Meerestiere darstellen, und entspricht dem typisch enzyklopädischen Geschmack des Autors, der zahlreiche Zitate aus klassischen Autoren und mittelalterlichen Bestiarien einfügt. "Das erste literarische Werk, das sich mit Insekten befasst und damit die Entomologie, insbesondere die systematische Entomologie, endgültig als Wissenschaft etabliert" (Smith, History of Entomology, S. 85). - Titel gestochen von Andrea Salmincio mit dem Wappen des Widmungsträgers Francesco Maria II della Rovere. Text in lateinischen, griechischen und hebräischen Buchstaben (ohne Leerzeichen 6 fehlt oft, gestochener Titel leicht beschnitten, gelegentlich leicht stockfleckig und gebräunt. - Ordentliches, kaum stockfl. Ex. - A good copy in contemporary binding of Aldrovandi's entomological work, the only zoological one, together with the one dedicated to ornithology, completed and published by the author during his lifetime in 1602. This is the third edition, whose printing date is also confirmed at the colophon. The work is full of detailed woodcuts depicting insects and marine animals and responds to the typically encyclopedic taste of the author, whom includes many quotations from classical authors and medieval bestiaries. "The first work of literature dealing with insects, thus finally establishing entomology, and especially systematic entomology, as a science" (Smith, History of Entomology, p. 85). - Occasional light foxing and browning). Contemporary or slightly later vellum, gilt title on spine (tiny stains, some tiny wormholes, very light rubbing).
