HALLER, Albrecht von.
Nomenclator ex Historia Plantarum Indigenarum Helvetiae excerptus authore.Berne, Societatis Typographicæ, 1769. 8vo. With a woodcut bookplate on the title-page and a decorative woodcut headpiece. Early nineteenth-century tanned and tree-marbled sheepskin, gold-tooled spine with red morocco label, marbled endpapers.
(4), 216 pp. BMC NH, p. 774; Burdet, Ouvrages 629; Pritzel 3726; Stafleu & Cowen 2312; Wellcome III, p. 199. Albrecht von Haller's own list of 2490 Swiss plants with morphological characteristics and references, taken with some amendments from his famous 1768 Flora of Switzerland, Historia Stirpium Indigenarum Helvetiae Inchoata. Haller chose not to use Linnaean names in his works, considering them to be imprecise, and therefore constructed his own names. The preface to the present work refers to this. With contemporary manuscript notes in the margins. A good copy, with some minor foxing. A nice companion to the magnificent Historia and a convenient reference in its own right.

About Us
ASHER Rare Books celebrates its 175th anniversary!
In 1830 Adolphus Asher (1800-1853) in Berlin established the firm that still bears its name. He quickly became one of the main agents supplying antiquarian books to the British Museum as well as to eminent nineteenth-century scientists such as Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin.
In 1933 the company was forced to leave Berlin and relocated in Amsterdam. From 1946 onwards the company has issued numerous catalogues in the fields of natural history, science and travel and voyages. After the retirement of Nico Israel in 1995, the new owner moved the company to its present location in IJmuiden, about twenty kilometres west of Amsterdam, where it now operates under the name of ASHER Rare Books. The management is formed by Michael J. Roos and Julius W. Steiner.
