AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful, hand-colored woodcuts of a two woodpeckers from Gesner's "Vogelbuch".
Early German edition of the famous encyclopedia.

Frankfurt, Saur, 1598.

Conrad Gesner is considered the father of modern scientific bibliography, zoology, and botany.
He was a polymath, physician, philosopher, bibliographer, philologist, natural historian, and illustrator from the Renaissance who devoted most of his time to collecting, researching, and writing. He compiled monumental works on bibliography (Bibliotheca universalis, 1545-1549) and zoology (Historia Animalium, 1551-1558). These woodcuts were published in the so-called "Vogelbuch," dedicated to fish and marine animals.

Dimensions: 35 x 22 cm.

Good condition, paper slightly browned due to age, a few small spots.
