AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Modern bindings in half-leather and marbled paper. Spines with five raised bands and a gilt title in a red leather label applied. Red edges.
vol.1: 2 blank leaves, [3] including frontispiece and front matter, xviii, 306, [7], 2 blank leaves
vol.2: 2 blank leaves, [2], 406, [7], 2 blank leaves
SECOND EDITION, considered superior to the first for its richness of illustrations: more than 400 distributed over 90 plates. The Treatise collected the state of the art in medical knowledge: it is interesting to note that mythological animals such as unicorns are still present. Very interesting, given Pomet’s reputation as a famous botanist, is the collection of plates dedicated to the plant world where plants from all regions of the world can be found.
Frontispiece engraved full-page in the first volume. Title pages with a printer’s mark. Diffuse yet light foxing. Copy in excellent conservation state of this important scientific treatise complete with all 90 plates + engraving on the verso-title-page of the first volume.
