MONARDES, Nicolas (1493-1588).

Seville: Hernando Diaz,1569. – Segunda parte del libro de las cosas que se se traen de nuestras Indias Occidentales . Seville: Alonso Escrivano, 1571. Second edition of Monardes' early work on the medicinal plants of the New World, first published in 1565. Two volumes in one, each in two parts, 8vo (165 x 108 mm). First volume: "Tassa" leaf inserted at end (and shorter). Portrait of Monardes on title-page, woodcut printer's device on verso of last leaf, woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials. (Browning and some spotting throughout, some dampstaining at beginning.) Second volume: 11 woodcuts of medicinal herbs, including tobacco, sassafras, etc. (Marginal paperflaw in F2 of the second part affecting shoulder note.) 18th-century Spanish green roan-backed marbled boards (some wear and rubbing); morocco pull-off case. Provenance : effaced inscription on title; “A.” (inkstamp on title); 19th-century inkstamp on final leaf. Hunt 106 ("A reissue of the first edition of 1565. Both editions are rare."); Palau V:211; Sabin 49936 and 49937; Wellcome I,4391. Second edition of Monardes' early work on the medicinal plants of the New World, first published in 1565. Monardes, a Spanish physician from Seville, never traveled to America. He was able, however, to study exotic plant specimens in his native city because of Seville's control over the navigation and commerce operating between Spain and the New World. Monardes maintained a botanical garden filled with native and exotic plants and made scientific studies of those plants imported from the Americas including coca, mechoacan, tobacco, sunflower, sarsaparilla, and sassafras detailing their curative virtues.
