 1660. Pre-Linn. 1660.1 



Labelled also "Libri Pioturati A. 32-33-34- 

 35." These oil paintings of the natural objects 

 of Brazil, are preserved in the great library of 

 Berlin. They were painted by George Marc- 

 grave, Franz Post and other Dutch artists in 

 Brazil, 1638-44. under Count Maurice of Nas- 

 sau-Siegen. They were collected and arranged 

 in order, by Dr. ]\lentzel (court physician to the 

 Elector of Brandenburg, c. 1660), who wrote a 

 preface to them and had them bound up in huge 

 volumes with an illuminated frontispiece — 

 probably of his own designing. Vol. I contains 

 the fishes, 357 in number. Some of these paint- 

 ings have notes in the handwriting of Count 

 Maurice. For further data on their history, see 

 Gudger, E. V,'. "George Marcgrave, etc." 

 (Add. 1912.1). See also Post, Franz, this sec- 

 tion.
