BM, Italian Books, 16. Nissen ZBI 75. Wellcome 1. 172 XIII. Poegendorff 1, 27. Ferchl 6. Caillet 165. Erste, posthum erschienene Ausgabe, zugleich das seltenste seiner Werke. - Enzykloädisches Werk über Metalle und Mineralien. SS. 870-979 behandeln Edelsteine. Für Chemie, Bergbau und Metallurgie gleichermaßen interessant. Die "paläontologie-geschichtlich interessanten, aber grobschematischen Holzschnitte' (Nissen II, 363) zeigen vorwiegend Metalle, Mineralien, Xersteinerungen, Muscheln, Schwämme etc. Die Abbildungen zu dem Abschnitt "De cote" (Schiefertafel und Graphit-Bleistift) gehen auf die gleiche Illustration bei Conrad Gesners De rerum lapidum" zurück. - Scarce first edition of the great illustrated catalogue of the "metals" of Aldrovandi's museum. - The present volume, edited by Aldrovandi's pupil, Bartolomeo Ambrosini (1587-1688) is entirely dedicated to objects of Geology, a term coined by the author in his will of 1603. Thus the title Metallic Museum is somewhat misleading as it does not exclusively deal with metals and ores, but also, and in particular, with fossils, shells, minerals and crystals, ethnographic stone objects and utensils, lamps, antique vases and marble busts, terra sigillata, kidney stones, or any other object with mineral properties. - PROVENANCE: A duplicate of the Library of the American Museum of Natural History. - Spine on raised bands with later lettering piece of red morocco. Head of spine repaired, front fly-leaf frayed at gutter, else a fine and spotless copy.
