Summary

Description
English: One of 300+ original drawings, many of which were rendered into woodcuts for Gessner's Historiae animalium and other works. The collection fell into the hands of his associate Felix Platter who collated them into "albums", adding annotations. The inscription here reads "Basiliscus vel.. coquatrix belua .. galli" (not wholly legible at this resolution)
Nederlands: Tekeningen verzameld door Felix Platter, voor gebruik in de encyclopedie Historiae animalium (1551–1558). Het tweede volume bevat afbeeldingen van uiteenlopende zoogdieren – waaronder honden, schapen en herten, maar ook panters, tijgers en kamelen – en van insecten, reptielen en amfibieën. De tekeningen werden gemaakt door verschillende kunstenaars, veelal anoniem.
