WILLEM PISO (1611-1678), GEORG MARCGRAVE (1610-1644) AND JACOB DE BONDT (1592-1631)
De Indiae utriusque re naturali et medica libri quatuordecim. Amsterdam: Lowijs III and Daniel Elzevir, 1658. 3 parts in one volume, 2° (344 x 216mm.) Engraved title. 522 woodcut illustrations and diagrams [Cleveland Collections count]. Woodcut tailpieces and initials. Letterpress tables in the text. (Some light spotting and browning, occasional paper-flaws or light marginal dampstaining, Piso: first quire reinforced at inner margins and with unobtrusive worming, *5-6 misbound after *2, Marcgrave quires a-d misbound after quire *, lacking blank 2E6; Bontius: O3 guarded in, quire T reinforced at gutter and with neat marginal repairs.) Contemporary vellum, spine lettered in gilt, red speckled edges (a little marked, corners bumped, recased). Provenance: early shelfmarks and inscriptions on front endpapers.
SECOND ENLARGED EDITION of Piso and Marcgrave's 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 edition, Piso (who disliked Laet's editorial work on the 1648 edition) decided to completely re-structure and re-edit the two texts, and added de Bondt's 'Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae Orientalis' and his own 'Mantissa aromatica'; due to the scientific talents of Piso and Marcgrave and the wealth of information on a wide variety of scientific and medical subjects, this work became one of the best-known works on South America. Marcgrave had travelled to Brazil in 1638 with Count Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen (the Governor of Dutch Brazil), and, in this work, 'composed the most notable scientific work completed in that country in the seventeenth century' (Borba de Moraes p. 675). The Dutch pharmacist and botanist Piso, 'one of the pioneers of tropical medecine' (DSB X, p. 622), had journeyed to Brazil in 1638 to become Nassau's physician and to be head of a scientific mission sent by the Dutch West India Company, returning in 1644. Arnold Arboretum p. 558; Borba de Moraes pp. 676-677; Cleveland Collections 225 (lacking Piso 2E6); Garrison-Morton 1825; Hunt 280; Nissen IVB 589; Nissen BBI 1533; Willems 1236; Wood p. 520.
