SCHAEFFER, Jacob Christian (1718-1790). Fungorum qui in Bavaria et Palatinatu circa Ratisbonam nascuntur icones nativis coloribus expressae. Regensburg: for the author, 1780.
4 volumes in 2, 4° (280 x 220mm). Latin and German text. 2 engraved additional titles in bistre, both by G.P. Frautner, the first after J.J. Preisler, title to vol. IV with engraved vignette in bistre, 330 hand-coloured engraved plates by J.G. Fridrich, G.P. Nussbiegel, G.P. Trauttner and others after Sophie Beez and Loibel. (Occasional light spotting, affecting edges of a few plates, not touching images.) Contemporary maroon russia tooled in gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt edges (extremities lightly rubbed, two small wormholes at foot of spine of vol. I).
An attractive copy of the third edition of one of the earliest and most attractive colour-plate books on fungi. In it Schaeffer succeeded in assembling an enormous variety of fungi from a single region, and was among the first to investigate the fungi of Bavaria in such detail. A Prussian-born botanist, zoologist and theologist, Schaeffer spent most of his working life in Regensburg. Elected to the academies at Uppsala and Berlin, he was also made a Fellow of the Royal Society. His works on plants, insects and birds are notable for the exactitude of the descriptions and for the beauty and accuracy of the images. Edward Schmalz's Prospectus. Fungorum Species ([1827]; Staflau and Cowan 10.843) is loosely inserted inside this copy. Nissen BBI 1744; Stafleu and Cowan 10476. (2)
