Bybel der natuure

Swammerdam, Jan, 1637-1680 · 1737 · Leyden, I. Severinus [etc.] · 9 pictures

Bybel der natuure is a Dutch natural history of insects by the microscopist Jan Swammerdam (1637-1680), published in Leyden in 1737 for naturalists and collectors. Its engraved plates show invertebrate anatomy in fine hatched line, with insects drawn large and magnified, numbered figures and labelled parts, and the page-level layout of multi-figure sheets that a designer could borrow for scientific diagrams.
