This publication on the wild chickpea is one of the books in James Smithson's personal library, now preserved in SIL's Cullman Library. Only one other library in the U.S. (and only 7 worldwide) holds the work. Targioni Tozzetti, a professor of botany at the University of Pisa, was a contemporary of Smithson's and probably met him through their shared interest in mineralogy and mineral collecting during one of Smithson's periodic visits to Italy.

Condition and Treatment: 

Pamphlet binding lacking cover. Good condition.  Conservators will create a cover using hand-made paper and provide a protective enclosure.
