Conrad Gesner (1516-65), a Swiss natural historian who may be called 'a modern Pliny' and is best known for his Historia Animalium, applied his scientific methodology to produce the first systematic bibliography since Gutenberg. The major achievements of Conrad Gesner can be divided into four categories: the editing of dictionaries and writings of the classical era; editing works by authors of later periods; studies of literary history and philology; and writings on nature science. The Thierbuch is his major work in the last category. Publications of the present edition, which is of immense value, extended over the turn of the seventeeth century. Elaborately painted by contemporary artists, this immense work consists of four volumes: the first devoted to 'Mammals' (1606), the second 'Birds' (1598), the third 'Fish' (1598), and the last to 'Serpents and Monsters'(1599). ...
