Mattioli Pietro Andrea

Commentarii in sex libros Pedacii Dioscoridis Anazarbei de medica materia, iam denuo ab ipso autore recogniti, et locis plus mille aucti. Adiectis magnis, ac novis plantarum, ac animalium iconibus, supra priores editiones longe pluribus, ad vivum delineatis. Accesserunt quoque ad margines Graeci contextus quam plurimi, ex antiquissimis codicibus desumpti, qui Dioscoridis ipsius depravatam lectionem restituunt. Cum locupletissimis indicibus, tum ad rem herbariam, tum medicamentariam pertinentibus

In-folio, two volumes. slightly later vellum over pasteboards with handwritten title on spine, slightly stained. Leaves [70], pp.583; pp. 772, ll.[6]. Roman, italic and Greek character. With a full-page woodcut portrait of Mattioli, 3 printer's devices and over 900 three-quarter-page figures (cm. 22x16) engraved in wood in the text, depicting plants, herbs, animals, insects and distillation procedures, of which three are colored by contemporary hand. A few more plates are lightly colored. Few stains, some water-stains at lower or upper margins, rarely touching the text, few tears and last 10 pages with restored upper corner. Despite these small defaults a very good copy with crispy paper and solid binding, with a few contemporary hand-colored plates. Collated and complete.
