Contemporary ms. ex libris de la libreria de Don Fernando de Henao Monjaraz to t-p. First edition of this beautifully illustrated, influential work on medicinal plants of the East Indies. The splendid woodcuts are the first images of Indian flora printed in Europe, made from the author s own accurate drawings. A Portuguese doctor, naturalist and botanist, Cristóbal Acosta (c. 1525-1594) is considered a pioneer in the study of Indian plants and their use in pharmacology. He was born in Africa in his works he calls himself Africanus possibly in Tangiers or Ceuta (Portuguese at the time) or in Cape Verde. Around 1550, after completing his studies in Arts and Medicine in Spain, he travelled as a soldier to India. In the city of Goa, he met the great physician and naturalist García da Orta, the first European to describe the indigenous drug plants of India in his Coloquios dos simples . Appointed personal physician of the viceroy Luís de Ataíde, Acosta returned to Goa in 1568 and spent many years studying the local flora and collecting botanical specimens from various parts of India. His Tractado de las drogas is an illustrated adaptation of Da Orta s earlier treatise, with a series of interesting additions of his own. Acosta states: The learned Dr. Orta has written with curiosity and diligence, but he has used reports, whereas I have set down what I have seen with my own eyes and depicted from life . In this work, Acosta describes a total of sixty-nine botanical species for medicinal use. Each entry contains an attractive illustration, a general description of the plant, its morphological elements (root, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds), geographical environment, therapeutic and dietary properties, and finally commercialization and industrial uses. References to the great classical naturalists of Greco-Latin antiquity are combined with the traditional guidelines of Galenic therapy. Among the species described, we find: nutmeg, tamarind, coconut, ginger, cardamom, mango, rhubarb, and asafoetida. Some of them, such as cinnamon, black and white pepper, cloves, nutmeg or opium had not been mentioned by da Orta. The author also depicts a few native American plants, including the pineapple, amber, rubber tree, sugar cane and the Indian fig of Peru. At the end, there is a fascinating section titled Tractado del Elephante y de sus calidades , that is a treatise on the elephant and its qualities this is considered the first monograph on the Indian elephant printed in Europe. It includes a realistic drawing of an elephant leaning against the trunk of a coconut palm and another of a war elephant with a castle on its back. Acosta s Tractado , is also among the first works to record words from the basque language.

12 hh.+448 pp.+38 pp.+1 h. Esta es la PRIMERA EDICIÓN del primer libro que contiene dibujos de plantas orientales. Ilustrado con 49 xilografías con plantas raras a toda página incluyendo el retrato del autor y 72 con bellas capitulares. La última parte es un TRACTADO DEL ELEPHANTE Y DE SUS CALIDADES y esta ilustrado con unas xilografías de este animal. Enc. en pasta española del siglo XIX. 19x14. Por Martín de Victoria, impressor de su Magestad. Burgos, 1578. Este libro dio a conocer en Europa las plantas asiáticas más importantes desde el punto de vista medicinal y de su utilización como especias, entre ellas, la canela, la pimienta, el clavo de olor, la nuez moscada, el tamarindo, el ruibarbo, el jengibre, etc. Durante muchos siglos, los europeos habían consumido sus productos, que llegaban desde Oriente a través de la famosa "ruta de las especias" o "de la seda", pero ignoraban las plantas de los que procedían. Cristóbal Acosta realizó largos viajes por el Asia oriental, en curso de los cuales "las vio ocularmente", las estudió y las "dibujó al vivo". A su regreso a España, expuso en esta obra los resultados de su trabajo, ofreciendo casi medio centenar de grabados de sorprendente exactitud, que fueron las primeras imágenes impresas sobre el tema. Como apéndice, la obra contiene un Tractado del elephante, que también es el primer estudio monográfico publicado acerca de este animal, con dos grabados que terminaron con las fantásticas representaciones del mismo circulantes hasta entonces en Europa. Cristóbal de Acosta, médico de origen judeo converso, afincado en Burgos, había estado en la India y parte de Asia Oriental con García de Orta. Su libro es el primero que contiene dibujos de plantas medicinales y especies de Oriente, dibujadas del natural por el propio autor y grabadas en madera. La portada y la primera hoja tienen un injerto en la esquina inferior magistralmente realizadas. Es ejemplar muy raro y apreciado encontrándose en comercio en raras ocasiones. Palau ref. 1962 "Libro estimado. El autor es conocido como el Africano" - Sabin, ref. 113 - Lyell "Early book illustration in Spain" ref. 204. LIBROS ANTIGUOS Catálogo CIENTO DIECIOCHO.
