Nürnberg, Raspe, 1794. 4to (26.4 x 22.0 cm). 1-132: Sechstes Geschlecht der Pflanzenthiere; 133-164: Siebentes Geschlecht der Pflanzenthiere; 165-220 (of 282): Achtes Geschlecht der Pflanzenthiere. Contemporary marbled wrappers. = The first text volume, second part (partly) of the magnum opus of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper (1742-1810), professor at the Königlich Preussischen Friedrichs-Alexanders Universität zu Erlangen and a noted entomologist and botanist. But this work on Cnidaria - in particular stony corals - and sponges (Porifera) is by far the most important that he wrote on his own. Using the Linnaean system he described and illustrated an immense number of corals, as well as some Bryozoa, Echinodermata, a good deal of coralline algae, and some others. Many still bear the names introduced by him. The whole second part should containe 303 pages, so this is the first 2/3rd, approximately. Wrappers somewhat rubbed and frayed at edges, otherwise a very good copy. Cat. BM(NH) p. 542; Nissen ZBI, 1315.…
