Description

Amsterdam, Pierre Meijer, 1772. 4to. 10 pp. (including title page), one engraved plate. Disbound. = This treatise deals with the Egyptian mongoose in particular on the history of the knowledge of this and related species of mongoose, and as indicated by the title, it contains notes on its behaviour and diet. From the latter perspective, the work is of interest to herpetologists too. Vosmaer was director of the menagerie of Prince Willem V of the Netherlands. Many strange animals were captured and sent to the zoo by Dutch traders who roamed the world. These animals were kept and studied by Vosmaer, who published his findings in a series of treatises, each discussing a different animal. Coloured editions are known, but in this copy in the rare French edition the plate is plain. Uncut, edges a bit frayed, otherwise a nice, clean copy.
