PISO, Willem (1611-1678), Georg MARKGRAF (1610-1644) and Jacob DE BONDT (1592-1631). De Indiae utriusque re naturali et medica libri quatuordecim . Amsterdam: Lowijs III and Daniel Elzevir, 1658. 3 parts in one volume, 2° (355 x 220mm). Engraved title, 522 woodcut illustrations and diagrams [Cleveland Collections count], woodcut tailpieces and initials, letterpress tables in text. (Without final blank at end of first work, occasional soiling and few scattered spots.) Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on spine, speckled edges (head of spine chipped, some staining). Provenance : purchased by the Royal Institution in May 1812 for 6s 6d. SECOND ENLARGED EDITION of Piso and Markgraf's Historia naturalis Brasiliae edited by Johannes de Laet (Leiden and Amsterdam: 1648), which combined Piso's Medicina Brasiliensi and Markgraf's Historiae rerum naturalium Brasiliae . For this edition, Piso decided to re-edit completely the two texts, and added de Bondt's Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae Orientalis and his own Mantissa aromatica . Due to the scientific talents of Piso and Markgraf and the wide variety of scientific and medical subjects, it became one of the best-known works on South America. Markgraf had travelled to Brazil in 1638 with the Governor of Dutch Brazil and he ‘composed the most notable scientific work completed in that country in the seventeenth century’ (Borba de Moraes pp. 675-676). The Dutch pharmacist and botanist Piso, ‘one of the pioneers of tropical medicine’ (DSB X, p. 622), had journeyed to Brazil in 1638 to become Nassau's physician and head a scientific mission sent by the Dutch West India Company, returning in 1644. Arnold Arboretum p. 558; Borba de Moraes pp. 676-677; Cleveland Collections 225 (without final blank in first part); Garrison-Morton 1825; Hunt 280; Nissen IVB 589; Nissen BBI 1533; Sabin 63029; Willems 1236; Wood p. 520.
