Conrad Gesner
Historiae animalium lib. I. de quadrupedibus viviparis. Zürich, Chr. Froschauer 1551.
Erster Teil der fünfbändigen Historia animalium.
Erste Ausgabe. - "Die Zeichnungen sind zumeist wissenschaftlich-naturalistisch gehalten .. So entstand in Gesners Tierbüchern ein typo- und xylographisch, wie wissenschaftlich hochbedeutendes Monumentalwerk" (Leemann-v. E.). - "His History of animals , is an encyclopedia of contemporary knowledge, intended to replace not only medieval compilations but even Aristotele's work of the same title. Like any modern encyclopaedist Gesner drew upon the best sources of information available to him, and also borrowing a great deal from his predecesors .. Gesner's encyclopedia was enriched by crude but often lively woodcuts. Most were prepared specially for this work" (PMM).
