Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. First. First edition. Lugduni Batavorum: Apud Fredericum Haringh., 1703. Quarto (9 1/4" x 7 1/4", 236mm x 183mm). [Full collation available.] With 33 engraved plates, of which one is folding (Aloe Americana Polygona, modern Aloe vivipara). Bound in contemporary paneled calf (rebacked). On the boards, the outermost panel sprinkled, he innermost panel mottled. On the spine, five raised bands. In the panels, double blind fillets top-and-bottom. Title gilt to red morocco in the second panel. All edges of the text-block sprinkled red. Rebacked (a pencil note on the recto of the rear free end-paper dates this to 12-14-62) and fore-corners restored. Some scuffing to the extremities and craquelure to the central panels. Tanned throughout, with some offsetting from the plates and occasional foxing. Several plates labeled according to modern (sometimes intermediate) nomenclature in pencil manuscript. A small patch of worming at the lower edge from pl. 31 to the rear end-paper; from the front board to K4 (pp. 81/82) it is a single hole, not affecting text or plates. Armorial bookplate of Lord Lilford on the front paste-down, with the Lilford Library label pasted over its lower edge. Faint shelfmark (A.56) to the upper fore-corner of the rear paste-down. Caspar(us) Commelijn (1667/8-1731) was born in Amsterdam but educated at Leiden, where he wrote a dissertation on earthworms. Returning to his hometown, he was appointed botanist of Hortus Medicus, now the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, of which his uncle was co-founder. There he gave these Botanical Preludes as lectures (on the dates given in the title), which he then published as this collection of exotic plants held at the gardens. The second part of the work (its majority) illustrates and describes many of the specimens discussed in these lectures. The second part of the Præludia is significant for publishing for the first time several South African plants that had been brought by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The plates are taken from watercolors by Jan and Maria Moninckx that survive in the library of the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam. The Geranium africum (plate 1), ancestor of most modern geraniums, was introduced to Europe at the end of the XVIIc. The long folding plate of the Aloe Americana Polygona (mod. Aloe vivipara) is quite striking. The first plate is signed by P[ieter] Sluyter, and Stevenson (Hunt 405) assumes that the rest are by him as well; he was active in Amsterdam, and so presumably the plates as well as the text were sent to Leiden for printing. The book was clearly intended for the Amsterdam market; the instructions to the binder are in Latin and Dutch. It should be noted that the interpolated bifolium is lacking in some copies. The Hunt copy is hand-colored. The bookplate of Lord Lilford (Baron Lilford of Lilford Hall in Northamptonshire) cannot be attached to any particular holder of the title; the barony was created in 1797. The addition of the distinctly Victorian library label brings the book happily into the hands of the fourth Lord Lilford (1833-1896, baron from 1861), the distinguished ornithologist who followed in the tradition of Gould (including the use of J.G. Keulemans as his illustrator). Hunt 405, Nissen BBI 388, Pritzel 1836, Stafleu-Cowan 1185.…
