Second edition. Quarto. 163; 160; 58. 15.25" x 9.5" A remarkable seventeenth-century marvel, Historiae Naturalis by John Jonston (or Jonstonus) is an exquisite and comprehensive exploration of the natural world. First published in 1650, this lavishly illustrated work spans various volumes, each dedicated to distinct realms of nature-animals, birds, fish, and insects. Known for its meticulous woodcuts, Historiae Naturalis captures the era's curiosity and reverence for biodiversity, blending scientific observation with stunning artistry. Jonstonus' work appeals to both natural historians and art collectors alike, embodying the era's spirit of discovery and fascination with the marvels of nature. This beautifully detailed compendium is essential for those who appreciate historical scientific texts and fine illustrations. Here are three of what ultimately would be six volumes to Jonsonus' landmark work. Shallow scratches, moderately scuffed boards. Heavy triangular water staining from top, with minimal effect to text and binding tightness, previous tape repair to nine pages. Firm separation lower gutter in last couple pages. Still a tight, presentable copy. Rebound in dark brown calf with gilt spine titles, plain endpapers. Cum aeneis figuris [with bronze figures]. 148 plates by Matthaeus Merian, bound together after the text in each section. (illustratore).…

folio (374 x 237 mm). full leather, five raised bands. (3)-6, (2), 162, (1); (3)-5, (3), 160; (ff), (2)-58, (2); (12), 160; (8), 147, (1); (2), 37, (1) pages. Text by Johannes Jonston, the well-known Polish scholar and physician. Second edition of this famous and important and wonderfully illustrated work on natural history with great influence well into the 18th century. The text is printed in double columns, and the engraved title and the plates contain the same figures as the first edition (1650). Complete with 249 plates, most with several figures each. This edition consits of six separately paginated parts. The illustrations include: Quadrupedibus: 80 plages, Piscibus et Cetis: 47 plages, Aquaticis: 20 plates, Avibus: 62 plates, Insectis: 28 plates, and Serpentibus: 12 plates. Two mis-bindings: plate 69 of Quadrupedibus bound after plate 70 and plate 23 of De Piscibus et Cetis bound after plate 24. Page number 37 of the De Sperpentibus misprinted '27'. Frontispiece accompanying four of the volumes: Quadrupedibus, Piscibus et Cetis, Avibut, and Insectis. Furthermore, our copy has '1657' on all six titlepages, whereas some copies have both '1657' and '1665', suggesting that some copies were bound with a later printing / edition. Graesse III, 477-478; Nissen ZBI 2131, 2133, 2134; 2132, and 2135; Anker 235; Wood, page 409. Covers rubbed, with some minor wear to spine ends. Some worm holes along the board edges and inside the pastedowns. Title page with a few very small worm holes. One wormhole effecting the final twenty-three leaves. Else the textblock is very clean and well-preserved in what is normally a heavily-worn book. Jonston's complete and comprehensive compilation of the animal kingdom lavishly illustrated with hundreds of engraved figures, many fanciful or imaginary, many the work of the great German artist Matthew Merian. Jonston was a physician of Scottish descent, born on the Continent, where he spent the better part of his life. Jonston practiced other occupations in addition to being a physician, and in 1650 he published the first version of his zoology. Jonston is now seen chiefly as a "learned compiler" and his sources for the present work were wide ranging, but probably the main influence was Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605). In addition to the technical merits of this book, Jonston also had a good imagination, as some of the creatures illustrated never existed: hippos with strange features, dragons, unicorns, griffons, and animals with human faces. full leather, five raised bands.

Tall 4to. (335 x 211 mm) 228, [4] pp. 47 plates; text with some foxing. Original paper over boards. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Rare. FINE. An extensive work on the morphology of boned fish, cartilaginous fish (sharks, rays, skates) and cetaceans. This work is illustrated with forty-seven full-page engraved plates that are executed in superb form. Plate XLII shows a beached baleen whale and its enormous size, compared to the men in the engraving. A bit fanciful, plate XL shows a pair of Mermen; a fish on plate XXVII has the features of a human face whilst a 'shark' on plate VII has semi-human fore-limbs. Except for these anomalies, the zoological drawings are quite dramatic and relatively accurate. Jonston's works were frequently re-edited and translated into German, Latin, Dutch and English. Born in Poland, but of Scottish origin, Jonston was educated and traveled extensively. He attended St. Andrews (1623-5), studying botany and medicine at Cambridge, Leiden, and Frankfurt Universities. He earned degrees from Cambridge and in Leiden, his M. D. in 1632, where he later practiced medicine and gained a great reputation. In 1642 he briefly taught at Frankfurt as professor of medicine. He retired to his private estate in Silesia in 1655. His "four dictionary-style works on fish, birds, quadrupeds and insects -- published between 1650 and 1653 with excellent illustrations -- were widely read and translated." [DSB]. BM Readex Vol. 13, p. 765; DNB Vol. X, pp. 968-9; DSB Vol. VII, [p. 164-5; Nissen 2133. See Garrison and Morton 287.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. 2nd Edition. A fair copy of the extremely scarce Insectis section of Jan Jonston's famous work Historiae Naturalis. Jonston (1603-1675) studied botany and medicine and was a doctor.

Contents are otherwise complete with 28 full page plates. The binding is clean and sound with gilt titles to spine. Contents: new endpapers; dedication 1p; Preface with plate list 3pp; Referenda ad pagninam 2pp with Plate I; text liber I pp 1-84; liber II 85-128; liber III 129-138; liber IV 139-147 with 27 further plates placed with relevant text; index 1p.

Amstelodami (Amsterdam), Johannes Jacobi Schipperi, 1657. Folio. Bound in one later (ca. 1800) hcalf w. marbled boards, uncut. Back w. six raised bands and coloured title-labels. Hinges, capitals and corners w. traces of use. First 12 leaves of "De Piscibus" w. repair to lower margin (ca. 4 x 10 cm. and decreasing) w. waterstaining around it, neither repair nor waterstaining affecting text or illustrations. Otherwise internally nice and clean. Engr. t-p. and 48 engr. plates (most of them depicting between 7 and 20 animals that live in water), 5, (3), 160 pp. (De Piscibus) + woodcut title-vignette and 20 engr. plates (most of them depicting between 10 and 20 shell-fish etc.), 58, (2) pp. Second edition of both works. The "Exanguibus Aquaticis" is in accordance with Nissen's description of the second edition (Nissen 2134), the second edition of the "De Piscibus", however, is described in Nissen without year and as containing 47 plates, as the first edition, whereas this copy has 48 plates (all numbered), place and printer are the same. The first editions were both printed in Frankfurt in 1650. Johnston (1603 - 1675) was born in Poland and of Scottish descend, he was primarily a medic and natural historian. His works are usually seen as compilations of information with no personal judgment accompanying it. None the less his works of natural history were of great importance to the growing interest in this field of the time. "For example four of his dictionary-style works on fish, birds, quadrupeds, and insects -published between 1650 and 1653 with excellent illustrations- were widely read and translated" (D.S.B. VII:164). Though he relied a lot on the writings of others (e.g. those of Aldrovandi), his works became of great importance, first of all because of their new educational approach, but they were also of paramount importance to the development of natural history in Japan. The first collected edition in Dutch of the Historia Naturalis published at Amsterdam in 1660, was presented as a gift to the Japanese ruler Shogun Yoshimune. It was the only source of knowledge of western natural history in Japan, until in 1750. "Jonston's writings were a useful contribution to seventeenth-century thought, although he was not in the forefront of changing concepts of the time." (D.S.B. VII:165).These two works are the separate volumes three and four of Johnston's six-volume work "Historia Naturalis". All the beautifully executed plates are by Merian, who printed the first edition. Wood mentions this 1657-edition as the "editio princeps" (Wood p. 409). Nissen 2133 + 2134. …
