ZANONI, Giacomo. Istoria botanica. Bologna, Giuseppe Longhi, 1675. In folio, mm. 310x205. Full vellum binding, mss. titles on spine. Pp. [12] unnumbered, 211, [1]. Antiporta and 80 engraved plates depicting exotic plants, mostly from the Malabar region of India. A few repaired tears, small lack at the white margin of the figure 7 plate paper not affecting the engraving, overall good wide-margin copy with the engravings well stamped. First edition. Important work by Zanoni, a famous 17th-century Bolognese botanist, in which he depicts many exotic plants according also to their medicinal properties. Cristofolini - Managlia: "His principal work is the "Istoria Botanica" (1675), where are described and illustrated in very fine engravings 111 species critical or new to science, both native to Italy and exotic, the latter especially originating in Malabar." Zanoni was able to collect and catalog the seeds through exchanges with missionaries and travelers, particularly from India. The plants were later cultivated in the botanical garden of the University of Bologna. Zanoni's importance in the history of botany is witnessed by Linnaeus himself, who paid tribute to him by naming "Zanonia" a genus of the Cucurbitaceae family.
