Geographie und Reisen – OCLC, 165822328 - Paul Partsch war ein österreichischer Geologe und Mineraloge. - Bereits in frühen Jahren baute er seine eigene Mineraliensammlung auf und knüpfte Kontakte zum K.K. Hof-Naturalien-Cabinet in Wien. Er unternahm einige Forschungsreisen und untersuchte u.a. 1820 die Aktivitäten des Vesuvs. Kurz darauf bekam er erste Aufträge, darunter 1824 jenen zur Erforschung der Detonationsphänomene der Insel Meleda bei Ragusa. Die Ergebnisse präsentierte Partsch schließlich 1826 in vorliegendem Band. - Papierbedingt nur minimal gebräunt, partiell etw. stockfleckig. Insgesamt sehr gut erhalten.
