    Édition latine rare de l'histoire naturelle de Pline liée avec un commentaire de Sigmund Gelen (original de l'édition Froben de 1535) et un index de 186 pages. Première édition avec les illustrations de Jost Ammann, Heinrich Burgkmair et Christian Weiditz.

    L'histoire naturelle est l'une des plus grandes œuvres à avoir survécu à l'Empire romain. L'ouvrage est divisé en 37 livres, organisés en dix volumes comprenant des sections sur l'astronomie, les mathématiques, la géographie, la physiologie humaine, la zoologie, la botanique, l'agriculture, la pharmacologie, les mines, la minéralogie, la sculpture et les pierres précieuses. Illustré de différentes gravures sur bois, dont des animaux comme les lions, les ours et les dragons. L'histoire naturelle est considérée, à certains égards, comme l'un des premiers ancêtres de l'encyclopédie moderne, car les structures organisationnelles et l'indexation présentées ici sont reprises de diverses manières dans les travaux des auteurs ultérieurs. 


    Scarce Latin edition of Pliny's Natural History bound with a commentary by Sigmund Gelen, first published in 1535, and a 186 page index. 
    First edition with the illustrations of Jost Ammann, Heinrich Burkmair and Christian Weiditz. Beautifully illustrated with initial letters, various devices and 50 woodcuts including one map. The Natural History is one of the largest single works to have survived from the Roman Empire. The work is divided into 37 books, organised into ten volumes including sections on astronomy, mathematics, geography, human physiology, zoology, botany, agriculture, pharmacology, mining, mineralogy, sculpture and precious stones. Illustrated with many pictures on animals such as lions, bears and dragons. The Natural History is considered in some ways to be an early ancestor of the modern encyclopedia, as the organisational structures and indexing seen here are echoed in various ways throughout the works of later authors.
