SELIGMANN, Johann Michael (1720-1762). Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel. Nuremberg: Fleischmann, 1749-1764. 4 volumes, of 9 in total, of the first German edition published between 1749 and 1776. The text combines Georg Leonhard Huth's German translations of three important English ornithological works: 'A natural history of uncommon birds' by George Edwards (1743-1751) and 'Gleanings of natural history' (1758-1764), and 'Natural history of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands' by Mark Catesby (1748-1754). The fine plates were re-engraved and embellished by Seligmann and his collaborators inspired by Catesby's originals. 4 parts (of 9) in two volumes, Folio, (395 x 245mm), comprising parts 1,2,5 and 6, engraved frontispiece to the first volume, engraved title-pages in red and black, 207 plates, 102 for the first two parts numbered I-CII and 105 for parts 5 and 6 numbered I-CV (first volume with noticeable water stains which fortunately do not damage the coloring, more serious in the second volume where the last leaf of the text has some chipping due to weakening, plate 14 with a restored tear in the center, small loss affecting text at the bottom right corner, plate 48 with a tear in the center without loss of text; light waterstains to margins of second volume throughout, weakening the last few leaves of text). Contemporary full calf binding, title-piece to spine, marbled endpapers, blue edges. (First volume with the last few quires partially unbound, losses to spine, second volume with some wear)
