1611 Aelian On Animals Greek Philosophy FISH Animalia Mythology Wonders RARE
Claudius Aelianus, or more commonly known as Aelian, was a 2nd-century AD Roman rhetorician and philosopher who was well-versed in both Greek and Latin linguistics. Aelian had only two well-known works – 'On Animalia' and 'Variae Historia.'.
'Nature of Animals' is a collection of short philosophical stories about animals and other facets of natural history each with moral lessons rather than just physical descriptions of the animals themselves. According to the Loeb Classical Library, 'Nature of Animals' is
"an appealing collection of facts and fables about the animal kingdom that invites the reader to ponder contrasts between human and animal behavior."
Aelian wrote much of this work based on the observations of other writers including Plutarch and Pliny the Elder. However, the most thorough sections of this work deal with fish and fishermen, which scholars believe to be because Aelian himself enjoyed fishing. In fact, this book contains entire chapters dedicated to fish such as the remora and the torpedo (or electric ray).
This 1611 edition was published in both Greek and Latin in parallel.
