A 1650 Latin natural history of animals, compiled by Joannes Jonstonus and published in Frankfurt am Main by the heirs of Matthaeus Merian, with engraved plates for naturalists and scholars. The pictures are copperplate engravings of birds, each specimen shown perched or standing on a sprig or stone, labelled in small Latin and German names; a designer could draw on their fine parallel hatching and tidy, scientific arrangement of many figures per page.
