Historia Animalium -- his greatest work, the stating point of modern zoology

C. Gresner his fame as a scientist rests on the first of his large scientific encyclopedias the 5 volume Historia animalium. While he continued to write his magnum opius. (the Historia animalium) he also published during the 5 years. 1552-57, more than a dozen works among them important contributions to medicine, botony, chemistry and philosophy.

Gesner's works were influential for a period of almost 2 centuries. The Historia animalium remained one of the standard zoologicla reference works until the early 17th century

Printing + the Mind of Man

One of the great polymaths of the Renaissance He was a German Swiss who studied at Basel, Paris, Montpellia; became professor of Greek at Lausannet finally professor of medicine at Zurich where he died of the plague.

Historia minalium--most of the woodcuts were prepared specially for this work, others were borrowed. remained the most authoritative zoological book between Aristotle + the publication of Ray's classification of fauna in 1693. It was reprinted many times, although it often suffered at the hand of editors.

"There is no more notable man in the history of learning + science in the 16th C." A suggestion of Gesner's versatility can be seen in the fact that for a quarter of a century he was professor of both ethics + physics at Zurich + a practicing physician during the same period. He was astonishingly productive publishing 72 works + leaving 18 others unfinished.

The holy father whose lives are related in this work were the monks of the Thebaid, in the uppper part of the Nile Valley + named after its capital, Thebes, which from the 3rd century on was the cradle of Christian monasticism. The monks at first practised rigorous asceticism lived as solitaries, but later formed a community.
