Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. First. "Second edition" (but first thus, largely revised). Amsterdam: Lodewijck and Daniel Elzevir, 1658. Folio in 6s (8 3/8" x 13 9/16", 214mm x 344mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved title page and 530 woodcuts integral with the text. Bound in contemporary calf (re-backed) with a blind roll border and corner ornaments. On the spine, 5 raised bands. Author and title ("PISONIS/ HISTORIA/ NATURALIS") gilt to red sheepskin in the second panel. Date gilt to tail. All edges of the text-block mottled red. Re-backed, with the end-papers renewed. Gently scuffed, with some craquelure to the bottom edge of the rear board, and a crescent of damp at the spine-edge. Tanned generally with scattered foxing. Title-leaf reinserted and strengthened at the fore. Crude repairs to the index leaf (3T6), not affecting the text. Linnaean binomials inked beside numerous botanical woodcuts. Collated complete against Landwehr. Soon after receiving his medical degree from Caen in 1633, Willem Piso (Pies; 1611-1678) was offered a position in the Dutch West India Company (Geoctrooieerde Westindische Compagnie, or GWC) as a physician to the governor of Dutch Brazil, Prince Johann Maurits of Orange-Nassau. Piso left for Brazil alongside the German naturalist and astronomer Georg Marcgraf (Marggraf, Marcgrave; 1610-1644), with whom he authored his first text on the flora and fauna of Brazil, Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (see our first edition). Marcgraf died of a fever during an exploration in Guinea prior to its release, but Piso went forward with their collaboration, publishing the work in 1648. Ten years later, Piso saw the work to press. The text was advertised as a revised and expanded edition of the Historia, but Sabin argues differently, noting that "a number of the woodcuts in this work are reproduced from [Historia, therefore,] this is sometimes said to be a second edition. It is in fact a different work, as a comparison of its contents will prove." Although this volume retained Marcgraf's contributions, Piso's editorial choices -- marked by transcription errors and substantial omissions -- drew criticism, notably from Carolus Linnaeus, who had relied on Historia for his own classification work in the years after its release. The compilation additionally includes the posthumous work of Jacob Bontius (1592-1631), a Dutch physician who served in the Indonesian archipelago. His detailed observations on the dysentery epidemic and the practices of local physicians provided valuable insights into tropical diseases and their treatments. Despite the editorial controversy, De Indiae Utriusque re naturali et medica made a lasting impact by documenting indigenous botanical knowledge holistically. It builds upon one of the earliest surveys of the region and remains a cornerstone of Dutch naturalism. The present volume was lot 112 at Sotheby's "Manuscripts and Music from Medieval to Modern" sale in London (12 December 2023). It previously resided in the library of Clayre and Jay Michael Haft.

Folio in 4s (15 5/16" x 9 ¾", 387mm x 248mm). [Full collation available; xii, 122, ii; viii, 293, vii] With an engraved title-page and wood-cut illustrations, all integral to the text. Bound in contemporary calf (re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down) with a double gilt fillet border. On the spine, six raised bands. Title (HIST. NAT./BRASILI) to the second panel. All edges of the text-block speckled brown and red. Re-backed (with the original back-strip laid down) with the corners strengthened. Some scuffing and soiling to the boards. Excellent margins.

Ink-stamps of G. Cuvier, the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle (twice; once over and partially obscuring a stamp ending in "Valenciennes.") and the later Bibliothèque du Museum (d'Histoire Naturelle) "cession autorisée," all to the contents page. Extensive graphite (once in ink to p. 2235) marginalia from p. 2142ff., through the sections on fish, birds and amphibians. Willem Piso (1611-1678) and Georg Marcgraf (Marcgrave, Marggraf; 1610-1644) produced two works -- both of which Piso saw to press, as Marcgraf died before publication; all dedicated to Johan Maurits, Prince of Nassau-Siegen and governor of Dutch Brazil -- that, issued together, came to define the natural historical knowledge of Brazil well into the XIXc. Piso was a doctor, and his contribution (de medicina Brasiliensi) treats the climate, diseases (one of which claimed Marcgraf's life in Guinea; the third member of their party, Heinrich Cralitz, also died there), poisons and "simples" (OED sub "simple, adj., n., adv., and int." II.4.a), medicines consisting of a single (active) ingredient. Marcgraf's work was written in a cipher deciphered by Johannes de Laet, the great Dutch cartographer and director of the Dutch West India Company, who also contributed a preface. It is the wider-ranging work, surveying and illustrating (as did Piso's work; the illustrations are after Marcgraf and Albert Eckhout) the flora and fauna of Brazil. Split into eight books, the eighth (also by de Laet) is ethnographic, treating the dress, customs and language -- including a glossary -- of the native Brazilians. Altogether the work painted a vivid and scientifically rich picture of Brazil that captured the attention of later authors as diverse as Cotton Mather and Thomas Jefferson. The great Nachleben of the Historia, however, is in the scientific community. Linnaeus relied on it for his own classification work, as did Georges Cuvier (1769-1832), one of the great XIXc natural scientists. His 1816 Règne Animal and Histoire naturelle des poissons apply the principals of Linnaeus to the animal kingdom according the branching of phyla, and it is in the production of these works that he must have made his extensive marginalia in the present volume. Moreover, Cuvier was a historian of science; his series of public lectures at the end of his life -- the Histoire des sciences naturelles, now published in English as Cuvier's History of the Natural Sciences -- included one (no. 6) on the "Contributions of the Early Dutch Naturalists," which discusses the contributions of Piso and Marcgraf at length, and the value of the present work -- the present volume -- in particular. He particularly praises its reliability (nearly 200 years after its publication): "It is even considered to be a book of reference that can be read with trust in every aspect" ( 6).

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 3 parts in one volume. Folio (14 x 8 4/8 inches). Engraved title-page, 522 woodcut illustrations and diagrams of fish, birds, plants, insects, and animals [Cleveland Collections count], woodcut tail-pieces and initials (some pale marginal waterstaining intermittently affecting later pages). Contemporary speckled panelled calf, the spine in seven compartments with six raised bands, red morocco lettering-piece in one, the others decorated with fine gilt tools (a bit rubbed, hinges weak) Second and enlarged edition the "Historia naturalis Brasiliae" edited by Johannes de Laet (Leiden and Amsterdam: 1648), which combined Piso's "Medicina Brasiliensi" and Marcgrave's "Historiae rerum naturalium Brasiliae". For this new edition, Piso decided to completely re-edit the two texts, and added de Bondt's "Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae Orientalis" and his own "Mantissa aromatica". Marcgrave was initially commissioned by the Dutch West India Company to travel to north-east Brazil as an astronomer. Along with another student of medicine and mathematics, H. Cralitz (who succumbed to disease within a year of his arrival), and the physician, Willem Piso, he arrived in Brazil in 1738. Marcgrave travelled extensively, collecting all manner of plants and animals, before he was unexpectedly called upon to travel to Angola, whereupon he too died. So Piso returned to Holland with Prince Maurits, and without Marcgrave or Cralitz, but "laden with considerable collections of specimens and the confusing notes of Marcgrave. The astronomer had written his natural history findings in a cipher, purportedly to prevent Piso claiming credit for the work. Piso's contributions to the first edition of "Historia Naturalis Brasiliae" (1648) were contained in four books of 12 volumes, under the heading "De medicine Brasiliense", while eight volumes on botany and zoology were compiled from the material authored by Marcgrave. Johannes de Laet (1593-1649), director of the Dutch West India Company, decoded and edited Marcgrave's work for this edition, but when a second edition of the "Historia" appeared ten years later [as here] under the title "De Indiae Utrusque re naturali et medica", Piso carelessly made his own treatment of Marcgrave's work. For this he was severely criticised by, among others, Carl Linnaeus. "While both men obviously made remarkable contributions to the knowledge of Brazil's natural history, Marcgrave's work is considered in many quarters to exceed that of Piso in quality as well as quantity, despite his shorter years. A large map of Brazil produced by Marcgrave was also published posthumously in 1747. Indeed, after these explorations, nothing was written on Brazilian botany for more than 150 years except for the observations made by La Condamine in the mid-1700s. Although Rio de Janeiro was an international shipping port in the 17th and 18th centuries, few ventured beyond the city, largely thanks to the intimidating rule of Spanish and Portuguese administration" (Natural History Museum online).

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 2 parts in 1 volume. with Additional engraved title page and numerous woodcuts. Folio (15 1/4" x 9 1/2") bound in 19th-century half brown morocco and cloth. (Borba de Moraes 675-676; Garrison-Morton-Norman 5303; Hunt 244; Nissen BBI 1533; Sabin 63028) First edition. Historia Naturalis Brasiliae by Willem Piso and Georg Marcgraf is a 17th-century natural history book about Brazil, commissioned under the patronage of Count John Maurice of Nassau. Published in 1648 by Elzevir, it is a foundational work on the natural sciences, covering the flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of Brazil. Willem Piso was a Dutch physician and naturalist who participated as an expedition doctor in Dutch Brazil from 1637 - 1644, sponsored by count Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen and the Dutch West India Company. Piso became one of the founders of tropical medicine. In 1637, Piso joined the Dutch settlement in Recife, Brazil, established by Johan Maurits van Nassau, where Piso took on the role of company physician. He was also expected to study the local flora and determine their value, if any, for medicine. His zoological counterpart was George Markgraf (often Marcgraf), who studied the animals. Both men were assisted by several capable artists, most notably Frans Post and Albert Eckhout. Condition: Leather rubbed, title heavily foxed with repairs, otherwise scattered toning, foxing and browning else about very good. Due to the size and weight this item may incur additional postage.

Vindobonnae, Typis Conregationis Armenorum, 1817, 8°, VI, 157 pp., Halbleinenband; St.a.Tit., minimal fleckig. Willem Piso (eigentlich Pies) (1611-1678) niederländischer Arzt. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet "Piso". Piso beteiligte sich im Alter von 26 Jahren als Leibarzt an der achtjährigen Expedition des Grafen Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen nach Brasilien (1637-1644). Willem Piso gilt als einer der Begründer der neuzeitlichen Tropenmedizin. Seine Ausführungen sind erste ausführliche Berichte über die häufigsten Krankheiten, Giftwirkungen und Heilpflanzen in Brasilien. Noch heute finden einige der genannten Pflanzen Verwendung in der Medizin, so die Ipecacuanhawurzel und die Jaborandi-Blätter. Piso was the first to distinguish yaws from syphilis and the first to bring the ipecacuanha root to the attention of the Western medical world. He also discusses such American specifics as sarsaparilla, sassafras and guaiacum. By studying the medical lore of the Brazilian natives very closely he became the first to point out that the health of Europeans in the tropics is best preserved by adopting the way in which the natives live.
