The firstever English translation of a seventeenthcentury ornithology text, complete with historic watercolor illustrationsThis beautifully illustrated book brings together the newly commissioned, firstever English translation of one of the earliest studies in ornithology with the original watercolors, now part of the British Royal Collection, that provided the inspiration for its engraved illustrations. The watercolors, created for the Paper Museum of the seventeenthcentury scholar and art collector Cassiano dal Pozzo, are here combined with the translated text of amateur naturalist Pietro Olinas original Uccelliera of 1622 to create a new work that provides a fascinating glimpse of ornithologys earliest daysa period when folklore informed natural history studies as much as science did.With meditations on the epileptic robin redbreast and a recipe for chickpea pasta meant to satisfy a nightingale and keep it in song, this work is an enchanting representation of natural history literature. Retaining the character of Olinas original design, this unique book describes over forty muchloved species, and is sure to please bird watchers, naturalists, and antiquarian book lovers alike.
