A beautifully coloured and copiously annotated copy of Fuchs’ herbal. Hunt says ‘The cuts represent an intermediary size between the large full-page ones appearing in the folio edition of … 1542, and the tiny ones used in Fuchs’ Planatarum Effigies, Lyon: 1549. All are very well cut.’ Hunt 63; USTC 602523; VD16 F-3245.
Octavo (162 x 102mm). 512 (of 516) hand-coloured wood engraved plates (lacks leaves hh4 and hh7, title page loose, leaf c8 torn and crudely taped, f1 with defective corner but without loss, some soiling and staining). Contemporary blindstamped calf dated 1595 with monograms M I H M on upper board (lacking ties, rubbed, scuffed). Provenance: M I H M (binding) – Jakob Keler [sic] (ownership inscription) – Johann Schwabe (ownership inscription recording gift from Johann Jakob Keller of Basel, surgeon, on 31 December 1617).
