  Zoologie - Taxidermie Rosa, Vincenzo Metodo di preparare e conservare gli animali per un gabinetto di storia naturale. Pavia, Fusi e Comp. succes. Galeazzi, 1817. 76 S. 8°. Interimsbroschur mit Fadenbindung (etwas stockfleckig). "Zoology - Taxidermy - Very rare work on the taxidermy of mammals, birds, amphibians and fishes, and general questions of preserving natural history objects written by the director of the Natural History Museum of the University of Pavia. Founded in 1775 as part of the renovation projects by the empress Maria Theresa of Austria, it is one of the oldest museums of natural history in Europe. Rosa is also known for his globe which was presented in Pavia in 1793. Written and drawn by hand, Antonio Scarpa wrote in 1798 in a letter about the importance of the globe: ""The three geographical globes built by the citizen Vincenzo Rosa... provoke the admiration of everyone in the field, as for the ordinary greatness of thesse globes, the accuray that marks each one of them until the most minute geographical thing together with the most recent discoveries."" - Plain blue wrappers (used and with stockings). - Sporadically faintly brownstained, otherwise inside clean, fresh and untrimmed copy." "Sehr seltenes Werk über die Taxidermie von Säugetieren, Vögeln, Amphibien und Fischen und mit allgemeinen Fragen über die Erhaltung von naturkundlichen Objekten, geschrieben von dem Direktor des Naturkundemuseums der Universität von Pavia, das 1775 im Rahmen der Renovierungsarbeiten der Kaiserin Maria Theresia von Österreich gegründet wurde und eines der ältesten Museen für Naturgeschichte Europas ist. Rosa ist auch für seinen 1793 in Pavia ausgestellten Globus bekannt, worüber Antonio Scarpa 1798 in einem Brief schrieb: ""The three geographical globes built by the citizen Vincenzo Rosa... provoke the admiration of everyone in the field, as for the ordinary greatness of thesse globes, the accuray that marks each one of them until the most minute geographical thing together with the most recent discoveries."" - Sporadisch sehr schwach braunfleckig, sonst sauberes, frisches u. unbeschnittenes Exemplar." *
