Bosse, Abraham (1611-1678)

Recueil de plantes gravées par order du roi Louis
XIV. [Par A. Bosse, N. Robert et L.-C. Chatillon]
Paris, Imprimerie royale [n.d.] 3 v. 319 pl. F°.
(Brit. Mus.; Bib. Nat. Paris)

Cat. Bib. Nat. gives no date; Brit. Mus.
gives [1675?]; Pritzel, 2d ed., 7661, about
1701. Pritzel, quoting Brunet, says plates
were originally issued without "Explication",
but about 1780 M. Buisson published an introduction, 
with a table of the 319 plates.

Brit. Mus. Cat. supplies an English title:
"A collection of botanical plates, alphabetically 
arranged. Engraved by A. Bosse, N.
Robert and L. de Chatillon, and published
by order of Louis XIV, under the superintendence 
of A. Bosse".

Seguier, Bib. Bot., p.16o-168, lists the
plants figured in this collection under the
name of Robert, saying they were engraved by
Robert, Chatillon and Bosse (whom Seguier incorrectly
calls "Hadrianus"), after drawings
by Nicolas Robert, Jean Joubert and Claude
Aubriet, the originals of which are preserved
in the Royal Library of Paris.
