Description
PARMENTIER (Antoine-Augustin). Recherches sur les végétaux nourrissans, qui, dans les temps de disette, peuvent remplacer les aliments ordinaires. With new observations on the cultivation of potatoes. Paris, Imprimerie royale, 1781. In-8, flamed fawn basane, smooth spine decorated (Early 19th century binding). First edition of Parmentier's great treatise on the potato, one of the most complete on the subject. It is illustrated with a representation of the "moulin-râpe" engraved by Gaitte on a fold-out plate. The work is a reworking of the Memoir that won the Besançon prize in 1772, which dealt with the question: "Indicate the plants that could replace, in times of famine, those commonly used for human consumption. Parmentier was one of the first to advocate plant foods. Joints and headpieces restored, title renewed, corners dulled. Vicaire, 657 - Oberlé, n°693 - En français dans le texte, n°173.
