Botanik - Pomologie

Naturwissenschaften – Selten. - Erste Ausgabe. - Erweitertes Nachfolgewerk zur ersten Georgischen Pomologie, die in den 1930-50er Jahren vom selben Herausgeber veröffentlicht wurde. Aufgrund seines umfangreichen wissenschaftlichen Beitrags zur georgischen Pomologie erhielt Khomizurashvili ein Ehrengrab im Nationalen Pantheon in Didube, einem Stadtteil von Tbilisi. Auch wird ihm ganz wesentlich die Rettung des jahrtausendealten georgischen Weinbaues vor derChrustschowschen Umformung der georgischen Landwirtschaft in eine Getreidewirtschaft zugeschrieben. Zunächst war die Reihe auf 6 Bände ausgelegt, jedoch wurde der Weinanbau wie zuerst geplant dann doch nicht mit in das Werk aufgenommen. Der Text in allen vier Bänden ist auf Georgisch, Russisch und Englisch, obwohl die englische Fassung der Texte gekürzt scheint. - Seiten leicht gebräunt. Im Schnit leicht fleckig. Insgesamt sehr gut erhaltene selten Reihe.

Natural Sciences – Pomology. - 4 vols. With approximately 300 color plates in total. Original canvas with embossed title on the front and spine (rubbed and bumped, slightly stained, spine of vol. 1 detached). - Rare. - First edition. - Expanded successor to the first Georgian Pomology, published by the same editor in the 1930s-50s. Due to his extensive scientific contribution to Georgian pomology, Khomizurashvili received an honorary grave in the National Pantheon in Didube, a district of Tbilisi. He is also largely credited with saving the millennia-old Georgian viticulture from Khrushchev's transformation of Georgian agriculture into a grain-based economy. Initially, the series was planned for 6 volumes, but viticulture was ultimately not included as originally intended. The text in all four volumes is in Georgian, Russian, and English, although the English version appears to be abridged. Pages slightly browned. Slightly foxed at the edges. Overall, a very well-preserved, rare series.
