AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful illustrated edition of this superb masterpiece of French natural history, the result of collaboration between Georges-Louis Leclerc, Count of Buffon, and Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton, which enriches the text with precise anatomical descriptions.
The volume is devoted to describing numerous species, often grouped by natural affinities rather than by a strictly Linnaean classification, which testifies to Buffon’s conception of nature as a living continuum rather than as a fixed system -
The birds are presented there in their relationships with humans, their usefulness, their symbolism and their place in the natural economy, which gives the work a dimension that is both scholarly and cultural.
