Understanding 9/11Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde : eine systematische Bearbeitung der bis jetzt bekannten Grossschmetterlinge
Bookreader Item Preview
16 volumes, leaves of plates : 33 cm + 4 supplementary volumes
Issued in parts (Lieferungen), each usually containing 8 pages of text and 2 plates
Foreword in 1. Abteilung, 1. Band dated 1909; collective title page for 2. Abteilung, 5. Band has imprint date: 1907
According to Griffin in his 1936 article, cited elsewhere in this record, "[I]t is already a matter of the greatest difficulty to assign even an approximate date to any given part, and in many instances quite impossible," because of the extended length of time over which the various Lieferungen were issued. The latest publication date (appearing on the title page for the supplementary volume to 4. Band) is 1954
Imprint in 1. Abteilung, 1. Band ("Verlag des Seitzschen Werkes (Alfred Kernen)") is mounted on the title page as a printed slip of paper. Apparently after a 2-volume set under the same title was issued by the publisher Fritz Lehmann of Stuttgart in 1906, the planned project of 16 volumes with 4 supplements, of the Palaearctic fauna and the Exoctic fauna, was transferred to the publisher Alfred Kernen
Each Band in 1. Abteilung consists of 2 volumes (text and plates)
Illustrations lithographed by Werner & Winter (Frankfurt am Main) and engraved by Emil Hochdanz (Stuttgart), according to the Vorwort in 1. Abteilung, 1. Band, page [A]
An English language translation was issued by the publisher Fritz Lehmann of Stuttgart between 1906 and 1933 under the title "The Macrolepidoptera of the world"
For publication history, see: Griffin, F.J. The contents of the parts and the dates of appearance of Seitz' Grossschmetterlinge der Erde (The Macrolepidoptera of the world), Lieferungen 1 to 130 Palaearctic and 1 to 575 Exotic.
