Title within ornate woodcut border; two woodcut ports., one of J.A. Cortusi &, on verso, of Durante; & 965 woodcut illus. in the text. 12 p.l., 492, [44] pp. Folio, cont. limp vellum (a few minor defects to binding), ties gone. Rome: B. Bonfadino & T. Diani, 1585. First edition of this handsome and popular herbal by Durante (1529-90), Italian poet, physician, and botanist. The plant descriptions, along with accounts of their medicinal qualities, are presented in verse directly below the illustrations. These are followed by more detailed text giving names, forms, localities, and medicinal virtues. This book was very popular; it was reprinted in Italian, and translated and published in several other languages, for a number of years.
