Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 2nd Edition. Editio Secunda, complete in one volume. Folio, 35.5x24.5cm, full leather binding, (4 leaves), xxvi, 152, 36 engraved plates, deckled edges, uncut. Rebound in a fine full leather binding, with five raised bands, two labels, gilt, embossed boards. Sadly, Plate XVII was not inserted by the original binder, making the total of the plates 36 instead of 37. Pages slightly but not uniformly browned at the edges, small bookworm damage affecting all the plates (it starts as a dot and ends up being slightly more than a line), a small stain and an inked number at half title. Faint traces of three old erasures at half-title, title page and plate 37. Definitely a very good copy. Extremely rare and fundamental Second edition (and technically second issue) of a work on South American Botany, following both the First Spanish edition, of which only few copies were published in Madrid in 1794 and then it was pulled from the market until late 1796 due to a controversy started by botanist Antonio Cavanilles, and a first issue of this same Latin edition published in 1796, of which two copies are known to exist but is unrecorded. This edition owes its merits to Caspar Xuarez, a botanist native of Tucuman (Argentina) but residing in Rome. He came into possession of a copy of the work in 1795 and contacted Ruiz to make arrangements for a new edition, which was redacted in Latin only and contains several corrections as well as taxonomic and historical notes. Two copies of this work are apparently known to exist outside of Italy, one which was in possession of Sir Joseph Bank's and is now in the British Museum, and another one located in the New York Botanical Garden. The work of Hipolito Ruiz Lopez (1754-1815), who was the leader of the Spanish "Expedicion Botanica" of 1777-1788 to the Vice-Kingdom of Peru (now Peru and Chile) gave way to at least two more publications on the subject, in addition to the 'Prodromus', namely the consequent "Flora Peruviana et Chilensis", of which the first four (out of 8 planned) volumes were published between 1798 and 1802, and the "Systema vegetabilium Florae peruvianae et chilensis", of which only the first volume was published in 1798.
