Kusukawa, S. (July 2010). "The sources of Gessner's pictures for the Historia animalium" (PDF). Annals of Science. 67 (3): 303–328. doi: 10.1080/00033790.2010.488899. PMID 20853813. S2CID 27904499. Patiesi krāšņa vizīte vienmēr atvērtā muzejā. Tūlīt, jau grāmatu atverot, ir milzīgs dzīvnieku valstības koks (attēlu ievietoju zemāk), kas man īpaši patika, jo palīdz saskatīt dzīvnieku radniecību un kopsakarības, kā arī vienā atvērumā, saglabājot visa dzīvā vienotības principu, parāda dzīvās dabas daudzveidību. Tas vislabāk patika arī dēlam. Ja mājās ir enciklopēdija par Latvijas dzīvo dabu, tad šī ir lieliska grāmata, lai paplašinātu redzesloku par pasauli. Chcem pri nej kresliť, pre seba, pre Héloïse, pre Alisku, pre ľudí. Je ako káva, ktorá ti mení dynamiku dňa - tvoje chute poznať a skúsiť. Gessner was aware of fakery in the curio shops market, where dried rays were manipulated to look like dragons (for example Jenny Hanivers). [8] There may have also been fake mermaid-like creatures being imported from China by the Dutch.

It is compiled from ancient and medieval texts, including the inherited knowledge of ancient naturalists like Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, [ 1] and Aelian. [ 2] Gessner was known as "the Swiss Pliny." [ 3] For information he relied heavily on the Physiologus. [ 3] Hendrikx, Sophia. "Monstrosities from the Sea.

There have been various academic studies relating to Gesner's inclusion of some fantastical-looking creatures in the volumes, such as sea monk, sea bishop, or ichthyocentaur. [ 6] [ 7] Historia animalium showed the animals' places in history, literature and art. Sections of each chapter detailed the animal and its attributes, in the tradition of the emblem book. Gessner's work included facts in different languages such as the names of the animals. [5] Fantastical creatures [ edit ] Unicorn

This title makes a sizable claim to operate as a museum of world plants, and it delivers in a big way...The text is accessible to 3rd grade classrooms (pictures will impress those even younger), yet will still offer interest to secondary grades for botany class or browsing.
