| Meer info | The publication draws primarily from Gesner's monumental "Historia animalium", first issued between 1551 and 1558, widely regarded as one of the foundational works of early zoology. Additional material originates from Edward Topsell's seventeenth-century adaptations and compilations. The book is organized as a visual archive of woodcut imagery, presenting both scientifically recognizable animals and fantastical creatures shaped by folklore, travelers' tales and medieval symbolism. The reproductions document the transitional period between medieval bestiaries and empirical scientific illustration. Konrad Gesner (1516-1565), also known as Conrad Gessner, was a Swiss physician, philologist, bibliographer and naturalist considered one of the founders of modern zoology and bibliography. Educated in Zurich, Basel and Montpellier, he combined humanist scholarship with empirical observation and extensive correspondence networks across Europe. His encyclopedic works attempted to classify all known animals, plants and books of his time. Gesner's illustrations and descriptive methods profoundly influenced scientific publishing during the Renaissance and early modern period. Edward Topsell later adapted portions of Gesner's zoological studies into English compilations that became influential in the history of illustrated bestiaries. |
