Popis:	The three books published by the botanist Johann Jacob Dillenius (1684–1747) after he came to England in 1721 were praised by Carl Linnaeus as much for their fine plates, drawn and engraved by the author, as for their accurate descriptions. The illustrations in a few copies of two of these, the third edition of John Ray’s Synopsis methodica stirpium Britannicarum (1724), and Hortus Elthamensis (1732), were coloured by Dillenius himself. Four such coloured copies of the Synopsis, out of a probable six, and seven coloured copies of the Hortus, have been traced, and their provenance investigated, in the hope that further copies of these splendid, and scarce, volumes may come to light.
