Monumental posthumous edition of the author's main work (1627-1702), famous German botanist who lived the last 49 years of his life in Indonesia, at the service of the Dutch East India Company. Rumpf's work, which came to blind in 1670, consisting of an important survey of the flora of the Moluccas archipelago (especially the island of Amboina, where the author lived), would only be published 39 years after his death, at the initiative of the Dutch botanist Joannes Burman (1707-1780). The edition, bilingual in Latin and Dutch, consists of six parts and a folio format supplement, each with two front pages, containing 696 copperplate engravings (+ 3 with duplicate numbering), representing mainly plants, in addition to na allegorical frontispiece, a portrait of the author and the other of Burman. These three engravings, along with the title page typed in Latin, are missing in the first part of this copy. Text leaves sometimes with some browning; on the contrary, the engravings, printed on paper of higher grammage, are generally clean, with the exception of the 30 leaves of the supplement which have slight water stains (tide) on the outside margin. Double engraving of the first part (LI/L) with small restoration and loss of support in the central fold. Bookplate of the Marquis of Angeja on the four volumes. Entire sheepskin contemporary bindings, worn and scratched. A complete set of text, including all 699 descriptive prints.
