Praeludia Botanica.Published in Leyden, Joh. du Vivie, 1715. 4to. pp. (viii), 85, (1), with 33 hand coloured engraved plates. Full calf. Some signs of lighr, marginal waterstaining on a few ilustrations. A reissue of this title, which first appeared in 1703. "The 'Praeludia botanica' is an important work because it offers the first illustrations of certain aloes and other plants" (Hunt p. 405). Wijnands (1973) provides an example of the importance of the book for the typification of South African taxa" (Stafleu & Cowan). Include in the volume are the two leaves describing the "Aloe Americana Polygona", which are sometimes absent. The first engraving in the book, and arguably the most important plant recorded here is the "Geranium africanum", the ancestor of most modern geraniums introduced to Europe in 1700.
