BARELLIER, Jacques (1606 - 1673). Plantae per Galliam, Hispaniam et Italiam observatae. Paris: Ganeau, 1714.
Fine first edition of this monumental botanical work on the plants of southern Europe, in an elegant contemporary binding and copiously illustrated. During his long stay in Rome, Barellier founded a botanical garden where he collected a considerable number of species that he catalogued and drew. Unfortunately, he died before he could complete the work and a fire destroyed all his notes except for the illustrated plates that Antonio de Jussieu uncovered in this work.
Folio, ( x 225 mm). 3 engraved title pages with author's portrait, 334 plates with more than 1300 illustrations of plants (s2 gathering placed after a). Contemporary full leather binding with blindstamped decoration on boards, title gilt to spine, speckled edges. (1
