Albertus Magnus has long been recognized as one of the greatest minds of the Middle Ages; his contemporaries conferred upon him the title Doctor Universalis. An epitaph at his tomb described him as prince among philosophers, greater than Plato, and hardly inferior to King Solomon in wisdom. In 1941, Pope Pius XII named Albertus Magnus patron saint of scientists.In his work De animalibus, Albert integrated the vast amount of information on nature that had come down to him in previous centuries: the exposition of Michael Scotuss translation from the Arabic of Aristotles books on the natural world (Books 119), Alberts own revisions to Aristotles teachings (Books 2021), and a dictionary of animals appropriated largely from the De natura rerum of Thomas of Cantimpr (Books 2226). Alberts comprehensive treatise on living things was acknowledged as the reputable authority in biology for almost five hundred years.In this translated and annotated edition, Kenneth F. Kitchell Jr. and Irven Michael Resnick illuminate the importance of this work, allowing Alberts magnum opus to be better understood and more widely appreciated than ever before. Broken into two volumes (Books 110 and 1126),Albertus Magnus On Animals is a veritable medieval scientific encyclopedia, ranging in topics from medicine, embryology, and comparative anatomy to women, hunting and everyday life, commerce, and much morean essential work for historians, medievalists, scientists, and philosophers alike.
