DEZALLIER D'ARGENVILLE, Antoine Joseph (1680-1765) - Conchyliologie oder Abhandlung von den Schnecken, Muscheln und andern Schaalthieren welche in der See. Vienna: Krauss, 1772.

First edition in German. Dezallier, one of the chief contributors to the Encyclopédie (his articles were chiefly on gardening and ornamental waterworks in gardens) formed "one of the finest private collections of such objects as stones, shells, paintings, sketches, and art prints. No mere hoarder of curios, but a collector-scholar, he allowed visitors into his private museum and helped stimulate the passion for natural history so prevalent in eighteenth-century France" (Kafker, The Encyclopedists as Individuals: A Biographical Dictionary of the Authors of the Encyclopédie, pp. 12-16). The present work was first published in French in 1755 and this German translation was made from the second French edition of 1757. It contains information on shells and remains today a valuable source because it describes many of the famous eighteenth-century natural history collections of Europe.

2 volumes, folio (370 x 241mm). Engraved frontispiece (plate 1), title in red and black and 40 engraved plates numbered 1-41 (including engraved frontispiece), woodcut headpieces and initials (some browning and occasional spotting). Contemporary half calf over marbled boards, red title label on spine, speckled edges (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: Libreria Cappuccini S. Cuore Milano (stamps) - "virtutis laus optima" (bookplate). (2)
