Opis od sprzedawcy
Folio leaf from: De piscibus by Aldrovandi.
Three large hand coloured woodcuts to recto and verso of one leaf, each with ancient classifications: Cagniza, Alphestis and Cinaedus [notes referencing authors like Aristotle and Rondeletius].
Bologna, N. Thebaldini 1638
Nissen ZBI 70. Nissen, Fischb. 7. Westwood/Satchell 3. Huber 56. - Aldrovandi (1522-1605), " ... He was referred to by his contemporaries—perhaps not entirely without irony—as the Pontifex Maximus of natural history, who took thoroughness and verbosity to the extreme. From an artistic point of view, however, his figures are to be praised without reservation... he particularly commended his woodcutter Cristoforo Coriolano (Lederer?) from Nuremberg, who, together with his grandson, carved the figures so elegantly that they resembled copperplate engravings." (Nissen, Fischbücher S. 14 f.).
Very good condition. Please view the images carefully.
