CRESCENTIIS, PETRUS DE. De omnibus agriculturae partibus, & de Plantarum animaliumque; natura & utilitate lib. xii. Ad autoris tempo rescripta exemplaria denuò collati & emendati. Basel: Heinrich Petri, (1548). Roman type, woodcut printer's device on title and on verso of last leaf, dedication page (a2r) with four-part woodcut architectural border, 189 small text woodcuts showing scenes of agriculture and animal husbandry, animals, and plants, woodcut historiated initials. Folio, 287 x 186 mm., 17th-century blind-stamped vellum over pasteboards, upper inner hinge split, title rubbed in places from effaced inscriptions, woodcut border on a2 cropped, a few marginal repairs or patches, occasionally catching a letter, occasional slight browning. Adams C-2929; Hunt 58; not in Nissen. Second Petri edition (the first 1538), handsomely printed and illustrated with a series of woodcuts unique to Petri's editions. "Petri seems to have used an entirely different set of blocks for all of the illustrations for his edition... The woodcuts of plants are finely cut, delicate and lively, and much in the character of the best done in Brunfels and Fuchs, though a good deal smaller" (Hunt).
