  note: Michael Laird, bookseller, description: Excellent contemporary Bavarian blind-stamped calf by the Benetictine monks of St. Quirinus, covers decorated in blind, with repeated use of the monastery's distinctive round stamp containing two intertwined branches bearing heart-shaped leaves, riased bands, vellum manuscript-lettered tabs, early handwritten paper label on the spine (lacking clasps, catches, and corner and central bosses). Housed in a very fine new black morocco box. Title printed in red and black within woodcut border, full-page woodcut of skeleton on k1v, four small woodcuts on K1r, small cut of a woman with a physician holding a flask on GG1r, and 1,066 woodcut illustrations in the text, the majority of them (that is, all of those appearing within the botanical section) in contemporary color.

A little wear to the joints, spine ends chipped, other signs of use externally, but the original attractive binding solid and with very considerable appeal. A half dozen small, round wormholes in the first few leaves, other trivial defects in the text, but an extraordinarily fine copy internally, the paper, fresh, bright, and clean, and with strong impressions of the woodcuts.

Hunt says that "though based in part …
