History of the plants of Europe, and of the most used ones which come from Asia, Africa and America; where one sees their figures, their names, in which time they bloom, the place where they grow; with an abbreviated account of their qualities and their specific virtues... arranged according to the order of the Pinax of Gaspard Bauhin..., Lyon : Benoît Duplain, 1766. 2 vol. in-12 of XXXVI-442 p. (volume I) and [443]-866-[80]) p. (volume II), illus. gr.s.b. Full porphyry calf (contemporary binding). Good and sound contemporary binding, very good condition inside, except for a little bit of wetness in the first half of volume II.
