Description
St. Petersburg: Academia Scientiarum, 1739. Two important and generously illustrated botanical works produced by respected Linnaean correspondents at the Imperial Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg. Amman’s Stirpium rariorum contains useful descriptions of 285 plants from Eastern Europe and “Ruthenia” (now Ukraine), enhanced with 35 clear engravings. According to Hunt, Amman “made a notable contribution to Russian taxonomy under Peter the Great and his immediate successors; and was thus a precursor of Gmelin and Pallas” (Hunt 511). The plates are unsigned throughout, although a small engraving on the dedicatory leaf of Amman’s work is signed by P[hilipp] G[Georg] Mattarnovy (/Filip Jegorovitch, 1716-1742), a Swiss-Italian artist drawn to the St. Petersburg Academy. The engravings are here labeled in ink with alternative Latinate names, suggesting that an early reader attempted to apply Linnaeus’ new system to these species. Buxbaum’s Centuria I-V is one of the first publications to describe and illustrate such a substantial portion of the vegetation of eastern Europe and Asia Minor. In addition to constituting one of the first scientific works on the flora of Estonia, the Centuria also offers the first descriptions of plants along the coast of the Black Sea, Armenia, and Greece. Buxbaum accomplished much of his research while accompanying the imperial chancellor Count Romanzoff to Constantinople. The work would ultimately consist of five parts, which were issued separately between 1728-1740 (the entire set received two editions). The final two volumes of the Centuria were published posthumously by Johann Gmelin, which may account for their separate appearance here. The Swiss Amman (1707-1741), who studied under Herman Boerhaave at Leyden, was Curator of Hans Sloane’s natural history collection in London. In 1733 he was summoned to Russia to become a professor of botany at the Imperial Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg. Buxbaum (1693-1730) was also a professor of botany in St. Petersburg, one of many Germans who made important contributions to the Imperial Academy. Both men corresponded with Linnaeus, even sending rare Russian specimens and seedlings to Sweden.. Large 4to. [26 x 20.5 cm], (6) ff., including one engraved vignette showing a garden scene, 210 pp., 1 blank, (7) ff. [the last an erratum], 35 consecutively numbered plates; note: plates xiv and xvi on a single folding leaf. [Bound with:]BUXBAUM, Johann Christian. Plantarum minus Cognitarum Centuria IV-V [including Appendix] complectens Plantas circa Byzantium & in Oriente Observatas. St. Petersburg, Typographia Academiae, 1733-40. Two (of five) volumes. (2) ff., 40 pp., 39 plates; (2) ff., 48 pp., 65 plates (in part V & appendix). Bound in contemporary vellum over boards, title inked on spine with trace of armorial shelf mark. Danish library stamp on title. Light marginal foxing throughout, minor worming on a few corners of Amman. Amman plates carefully labeled in ink with alternative, Linnaean plant names. Generally a wide-margined copy, (very) good.

Description
Washington, DC / Denver City: s. n.. Very good. Two printed documents, partially filled in manuscript; 10 x 16; illustrated with vignettes in upper left corners; embossed seals to recto; handwritten title and notes to verso; old crease lines and minor spotting to margins; in very good condition. William Jackson Palmer (1836 - 1909) was a Civil War veteran, engineer, philanthropist, businessman, railroad surveyor and magnate, founder of present-day Colorado Springs, and funder of Colorado College. He also funded hospitals, schools, libraries, road construction, and parks in Denver, Manitou Springs, and Colorado Springs. The two current deeds granted tracts of land to Palmer in Denver by the State of North Carolina, under the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862. He would later donate the land, (unconfirmed officially), but most probably the one, where Highland Park would eventually be build.

(including a bibliography of books which include Liberti's illustrations (p. 172-173), pict.d.j. OCLC: 85891443. A major contribution to the literature this compendium of the work of surrealist artist, Juan Carlos Libertti (b. Argentina, 1930) is an essential reference for 20th century art. Rafael Siquirru in his essay says: I would be mistaken if I were to highlight his essential concern with form, understood as a forceful visual presence rendered in terms of volume and weight. I believe this artist has succeeded in elevating his to the level of painting with the highest classical quality in the Renaissance sense of the world. I consider it important to highlight that in each of his achievements Liberti expresses himself as what he is: a great painter" (p. 14). ENGLISH AND SPANISH TEXTS. Completo libro sobre la obra del artista Juan Carlos Liberti (b. 1930, Argentina). El artista se caracteriza por su marcada influencia del surrealismo, en su obra se encuentran referentes de la obra de Dali, Arcimboldo, Ernst, De Chirico, e incluso Magritte. Es es libro más completo que se ha hecho sobre el autor, incluye cronologías de exposiciones, premios, publicaciones. ENGLISH AND SPANISH TEXT.
