First Plantinian edition
of this botany work by the Flemish physician and botanist Lobel
(1538-1616), illustrated with more than 1.700 woodcuts engraved by Cornelius Muller,
Gérard Janssen van Campen, Arnold Nicolai and Antoine vander Leest, after Pieter vander
Borcht. Contains 4 parts : a) "Plantarum seu Stirpium historia" : in variant B (which is "the
"normal" one", cfr Voet), written between 1571-1576, concerning especially the plants in
the Netherlands and in Belgium followed by the "De succedaneis, imitatione Rondeletii"
giving substition medicines and the organisation of drawyers for the plants conservation.
The "Stirpium" was in fact the complement of the "Nova stirpium adversaria" but Plantin
placed it first in his edition, b) "Nova stirpium adversaria" : published in London in 1570-
1571 under Lobel's name and the one of his friend Pierre Pena (1520/1535-1600/1605),
which is an introduction to classical medicine describing c. 1.400 species followed by the
"Appendix nonnullarum stirpium" dealing with 34 rare plants which were, at that time,
newly introduced in Belgium, c) "Formula aliquot remediorum" : formula remedies after
the notes of the French doctor Guillaume Rondelet (1507-1566), professor of Lobel, d) "In
stirpium observationes et adversaria" : indexes in Latin, French, German, Dutch, English,
Portuguese and Italian.
Many copies of the "Stirpium adversaria nova" remained unsold, Plantin bought 800 of
them. He "re-arranged somewhat the English publication, added an appendix, and added
also, but with separate pagination, an Index and the "Formulae Guillielmi Rondelletii" (cfr

First edition of this translation
(1
st
ed. : Ingolstadt, 1533). Illustrated with a woodcut on the
title-page depicting an Oriental (ben Aphla ?) and a European (Apian?) holding astronomic
instruments, a full-page coat-of-arms of the dedicator, 9 pages of tables of sines and some
woodcuts in the text. Our copy contains the 100 propositions dedicated to the study and use
of the instrument "primi mobilis" which was "invented" by Apian for calculating sines, but
which was in reality an adaptation of the trigonometric grids already known to the Arabs, but
lacks the second part (146 pp.), a translation from the Arab of a work about the "geometric
elements" by the scholar Geber ben Aphla and an independent subject.
