Altera Pars Hortus Floridi in qua praeter flores varia etiam reperiuntur aborum fructiferarum, fructicum, plantarum quoque et herbarum medicinalium genera. [Utrecht & Arnhem: Crispin van de Pass and J. Jansson, 1616].

Final part of Passe's celebrated Hortus Floridus with finely coloured engravings by a contemporary hand. This is the Latin text issue of one of the most famous and influential of the early florilegia. Hunt 199 with a note suggesting the present lot might be in a slightly later variant; Nissen BBI 1494; Pritzel 6972; Savage 'The "Hortus Floridus"' in Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, second series IV, pp.181-205.
