Rara "edizione originale" di uno dei pi completi ed importanti manuali di botanica del Rinascimento. Frutto della rielaborazione di numerose sue opere precedenti - incluso il celebre Cruydeboeck (stampato nel 1554) - l'A., attraverso l'identificazione di 26 famiglie vegetali, oltre 2000 variet, con l'introduzione di numerose nuove specie (specialmente esotiche), qui menzionate per la prima volta, descrive e riclassifica quelle gi conosciute, dando un nuovo e significativo impulso allo studio della tassonomia e dell'anatomia vegetale. Rembert Dodoens (Malines 1517 - Leida 1585), medico e botanico olandese. Pubblic importanti lavori di medicina e si pu considerare come il fondatore dell'orticoltura in Olanda. Fra le sue opere di botanica, cui deve principalmente la fama, ricordiamo: "Cruydeboek", la cui prima edizione (Anversa 1554) rarissima, ma che fu ristampata nel 1563 e 1581 e tradotta in francese ed inglese; "Stirpium historiae pemptades sex" (Anversa 1583)..(Cfr. Treccani, XIII, p. 86)Nouvelle dition amliore du "Cruydeboek". Le texte est le meme, c'est--dire que, pour le fond, c'est celui de Fuchs, perfectionn et enrichi de toutes les nouvelles dcouvertes. Dodoens y a dcrit et figur mille trois cent quarante plantes, qui sont ranges en autant de classes, suivant leurs usages, et disposes par ordre alphabtique quand ces usages ne sont pas connus au juste. Les planches sont au nombre de treize cent cinq (cos Biographie Mdicale,III, p. 500). Cfr. Pritzel,2350 - Nissen, BBI,517 - Adams,I, D-722 - Wellcome,I,1823 - Durling,1182: The author's last and most comprehensive herbal, including several of his previously published works.

Stirpium Historia pemptades sex, sive libri XXX ... (1616 edition).
" Antverpiæ ( Antwerpen ) , ex Officina Plantiniana, apud Balthasarem et Ioannem Moretos, 1616, in-folio, 362 x 233 mm , engraved title page + (1)(bl) + (14) nn pp + 872 pp + (66) nn pp (index , printer's mark). With 1341 woodcuts of plants. Full calf, raised gilt spine, double gilt fillet on both covers (binding with some stains and traces of use, lower headcap missing but still an excellent contemporary binding). With a 19th century manuscript ex-libris written in red ink above and underneath the engraved title ; ''Charles Bourqueney à Chatelblanc (Doubs , 1841)''. On the fly-leaf an older note stating that the book belongs to the ''Bibliothèque du petit Pré (?)''. Most of the engravings received an additional latin caption written in a neat 19th (?) century italic hand, in black ink, and referring to the linnaean plant name. Nissen BBI, 517; Hunt 201. This is the most complete Latin edition of Dodoens' '' Cruydtboeck."" . He was the first of the great 16th c. Flemish botanists and made with his herbals an important contribution to the botanical classification system which had begun with Bock's ""Neu Kreuterbuch"" in 1539. The 1616 Latin edition is his last and most comprehensive botanical work, incorporating material from his earlier publications, and containing also an attempt to explain the different parts of the plants. This is a fine crisp copy with no browning inside and without use, thumbing or wear at any pages, which is a rare condition for such a much used book."
