Volbracht, 2120: "Rare in a complete state". - Leopold Trattinnick (1764-1849) was a wealthy Austrian botanist and curator at the k.k. Hof-Naturaliencabinette from 1809 to 1835, he is often called the father of Austrian mycology. He contributed to the study of plant taxonomy and systematics; one of his earliest publications was on classification "Genera planatarum method naturali disposita (Vienna, 1802)" and, among other things, he named the genus Hosta after his contemporary Nicolaus Thomas Host (1761-1834). Several of his publications are sumptuously illustrated works on the botany of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, including the present work focusing on his specialty in mycology (fungi). This work (the second enlarged edition) is widely regarded as his best work on the topic. The beautiful coloured plates are printed after works of the famous porcelain painter Franz Reinelli.
