Giacomo Zanoni, the most prominent botanist at
the Bologna University during the XVII Century, was
born in 1615 at Montecchio, in the province
Reggio Emilia. His father was an apothecary, hence
it was quite natural to him to direct his skill to
investigate the plants and their curative
properties. In 1642, he was appointed
the position of conservator (“Sovrintendente”) of
the Botanical Garden, an office that Zanoni was to
maintain during forty years, until his death in
1682. An accurate and learned scholar, he
performed some travel of botanical exploration in
Italy; yet, most of the new introductions yo the
Garden came from abroad, mainly from the near and
far East, being sent to him by travellers, in
particular catholic missionaries directed to
India. Zanoni’s masterwork is the Istoria
Botanica published 1675. It is a weighty treatise
illustrating a great deal of new or rare species,
both native to Europe or to exotic countries: it is
basically the catalogue of the plants cultivated in
the Botanical Garden, all of them described in their
morphological characters and pharmaceutical
properties, and illustrated by original drawings
taken ex vivo: the 105 excellent engravings due to
Francesco Curti and to his pupil Francesco Maria
Francia make the volume invaluable. The Istoria
botanica was highly considered and estimated even
many years after Zanoni’s death, so that Gaetano
Monti, “Prefetto” (Director) of the Botanical Garden
and influential botanist of the XVII Century,
published in 1742 a second edition (“Jacobi Zanonii
Rariorum Stirpium Historia”), augmented and
translated into Latin, in order to enhance its
international appeal. Linnaeus, named after
him the genus Zanonia (Cucurbitaceae), as a tribute
to a predecessor deserving to be honoured.
The first Latin and best edition. The Italian edition was first published in 1675 with only 80 plates. The later much enlarged edition contains an extensive biography of the author by Gaetano Monti, and deals to a large extent with rare species of Malabar (India).
