出版一本书的第二版并不罕见。然而，尼古拉斯·约瑟夫·冯·雅昆（Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin，1727-1817）编写《美洲植物选编史》（Selectarum Stirpium Amerkanarum Historia）第二版的方式是最不寻常的。《美洲植物选编史》是加勒比地区植物群的基础著作，于1763年在维也纳首次印刷。本文仅涉及第一版出版后约17年出版的极其罕见的修订版，其中两个精美的副本最近出现在伦敦艺术市场上（匿名，1994年a&B; 1997年），并提出了特殊的兴趣。没有试图讨论第三版杰昆的工作（匿名。1788年），这是匿名出版的1788年在曼海姆，是一个完全不同的工作。由于大量的文献存在于Jacquin，一个关键人物在植物学在下半年的十八世纪，并在第一版的Selectarum Stirpium Amerkanarum Historia最近总结（Stafleu，1970年; 1980年），背景的这一著名的工作只是简要概述。与此同时，这一贡献补充了弗雷德里克吉尔伯特威尔特希尔（1882年至1917年），图书馆员在部门的植物，大英博物馆（自然史），谁超过80年前研究了几个副本，这rabissimum（威尔特希尔，1913年）。特别强调的是作者研究的各种副本的标题页，这些副本可能被认为是非常成功的，并且是有史以来在纸上画的最壮观的花卉作品之一;其中很少有出版的，而且没有一个被正确分析过。希望本文能激发人们对Jacquin最精美的作品以及为之做出贡献的插图画家的兴趣。
Producing a second edition of a book is nothing unusual. However, the way Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin (1727-1817) prepared the second edition of his Selectarum Stirpium Amerkanarum Historia, a basic work for the flora of the Caribbean region first printed in Vienna in 1 763, was most unconventional. This paper deals only with the extremely rare, amended version published about seventeen years after the first edition came out, two fine copies of which have very recently appeared on the London art market (Anon., 1994a & b; 1997) and raised exceptional interest. No attempt is made to discuss the third edition of Jacquin's work (Anon., 1788) which was published anonymously in 1788 in Mannheim and is a totally different work. Since an extensive literature exists on Jacquin, a key figure in botany in the second half of the eighteenth century, and on the first edition of the Selectarum Stirpium Amerkanarum Historia recently summarized (Stafleu, 1970; 1980), the background of this famous work is only briefly outlined. At the same time this contribution supplements a note by Frederick Gilbert Wiltshear (1882-1917), Librarian at the Department of Botany, British Museum (Natural History), who more than eighty years ago had studied a few copies of this rarissimum (Wiltshear, 1913). Special emphasis is placed on the titlepages of the various copies studied by the author, which may be regarded as exceptionally accomplished and ranging among the most spectacular flower pieces ever painted on paper; few of these have been published, and none of them was ever properly analyzed. Hopefully this paper will stimulate interest in Jacquin's most exquisite work and the illustrators who have contributed to it.
