Édition originale. Bel exemplaire en veau de l’époque.

Imposante publication hollandaise, l'ouvrage majeur d'Abraham Munting consacré aux arbres, arbustes, herbes et fleurs, avec le nom des plantes en cinq langues (néerlandais, latin, allemand, français et italien), leurs variétés et caractéristiques ainsi que leurs usages et propriétés curatives. L’ouvrage est illustré de belles planches gravées sur cuivre. Le titre mentionne, sans doute par erreur, 250 planches. Elles sont ici numérotées de 1 à 243, sans lacune ni planche double. Brunet, III, 1947 (245 pl.) ; Nissen, 1428 (243 pl. numérotées 1 à 237, contenant 262 fig.) ; Pritzel, 6556 (250 pl.).



Fort in-folio (397 x 257 mm). Illustré d'un titre gravé par Baptist d’après Goerce, 7 en-tête et 5 culs-de-lampe gravés sur cuivre, certains répétés, et 243 planches numérotées (une douzaine de planches brunies ; quelques défauts, sans atteinte aux planches ou au texte : tache brune dans la marge intérieure des pl. 27 à 36, manque marginal de papier aux pl. 55, 60, 61 et 213, tache d’encre brune marginale au dernier quart du volume). Reliure de l’époque : veau marbré, triple filet doré droit en encadrement, dos à nerfs richement orné, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge avec titre en français (« Histoire des plantes »), dentelle intérieure dorée, tranches dorées sur marbrure (reliure habilement restaurée).
