DONATI (Vitaliano). Della storia naturale marina dell' Adriatico. Venice: Francesco Storti, 1750 - In-4, 276 x 197 : (4 ff.), LXXXI pp. 10 plates. Speckled calf, cold fillet framing the boards, ornate ribbed spine, red speckled edges (period binding). First edition of the most important work by Italian physician, archaeologist and botanist Vitaliano Donati (1717-1862). "It contains general considerations on marine biology, original observations on the hydrography and geology of the eastern Adriatic coast, descriptions of some fossils, and above all a detailed presentation of the many species that live in this sea. Donati's work influenced European biological thought by demonstrating the essentially animal nature of coral reproduction and growth. The book's scientific success earned him international renown." (Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, XLI, p. 62-63.) Donati's study is followed by a letter to Donati from Italian physician and botanist Leonard Sesler, in which he describes a new species of terrestrial plant that he named Vitaliana to honor Vitaliano Donati. The edition is illustrated with 10 plates, the last of which depicts the Vitaliana described by Sesler.
