FRANCISCI, Erasmus (1627-1694).
Ost- und West-Indischer wie auch Sinesischer Lust- und Stats-Garten. Nuremberg: Johann A. Endters and Wolfgang Sel, 1668.
First edition of an encyclopaedic work on America, the East Indies and China. The first and second parts treat the natural history of the West and East Indies and their resources; the third deals with the native inhabitants, their government, manners and institutions, with particular reference to China. The 65 engraved plates include many devoted to botanical subjects. Francisci, an editor at Endters, is considered to be among the most influential figures in the German Baroque period. He was a polymath writer, and the work contains a six-page bibliography listing some 250 books consulted. Alden & Landis 668⁄61; Borba de Moraes I:323; Nissen BBI 648; Sabin 25463.
3 parts in one volume, folio (323 x 203mm). Engraved title and engraved coat-of-arms by C.N. Schurtz, 65 full-page engraved plates numbered 1-63 with bis plates 45 and 47, title printed in red and black, black letter, printed double-column (short marginal tear in plate 61, occasional very faint browning). Contemporary blindstamped white pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, covers with multiple panels around a central lozenge, spine in six compartments with five raised bands, paper spine label at top and shelfmark in red at the foot, brass catches and clasps (lower corner of upper cover with small dampstain and the leather worn, bands and upper cover slightly rubbed). Provenance: Georg Christoph Graf von Proskau (1629-1701; 'G.C.G.V.P.' initials on engraved armorial bookplate dated 1695).
