Torino, Reale Accademia delle scienze di Torino, 1865. Large 4to (28.9 x 22.8 cm). 55 pp.; three finely lithographed plates. Contemporary plain boards. Paper label with typescript title on the spine.

A seldom-seen work by the Italian malacologist Arturo Issel (1842-1922). It deals with continental and marine molluscs from Iran, collected by some well-known Italian naturalists and malacologists, Filippo De Filippi (1814-1867), Michele Lessona (1823-1894), and Giacomo Doria (1840-1913). Many species are new. Offprint from the academy's Memorie. Provenance: From the library of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020), with his stamp on the front board and title top margin. Weak damp stain to lower part of the plates; text clean. Boards a bit soiled and rubbed at edges; otherwise a very good copy. Neither in Cat. BM(NH) nor in Nissen.
