Seba Albertus Seba. Cabinet of Natural Curiosities
The Cabinet of Natural Curiosities is one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time. Though scientists of his era often collected natural specimens for research purposes, Amsterdam-based pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665-1736) was unrivaled in his passion. His amazing collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting, Seba commissioned careful and often scenic illustrations of every specimen. With these meticulous drawings, he arranged for the publication of a four-volume catalog, covering the entire collection from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, birds, and butterflies, as well as now extinct creatures. This reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction supplies background information about the fascinating tradition of natural collections to which Seba's curiosities belonged.

Albertus Seba's "Cabinet of Curiosities" is one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time. Though it was common for men of his profession to collect natural specimens for research purposes, Amsterdam-based pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665-1736) had a passion that led him far beyond the call of duty. His amazing, unprecedented collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting, Seba commissioned illustrations of each and every specimen and arranged the publication of a four-volume catalog detailing his entire collection-from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, insects, butterflies and more, as well as fantastic beasts, such as a hydra and a dragon. Seba's scenic illustrations, often mixing plants and animals in a single plate, were unusual even for the time. Many of the stranger and more peculiar creatures from Seba's collection, some of which are now extinct, were as curious to those in Seba's day as they are to us now. Our superb, complete reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction offers background information about the fascinating tradition of the cabinet of curiosities to which Seba's curiosities belonged and an additional annex, written by contemporary biologists, provides descriptions of the specimens.

Непревзойденный каталог животных, насекомых и растений Альбертуса Себы.«Кабинет диковин природы» — одно из величайших достижений естествознания XVIII века и одна из самых ценных книг по естествознанию всех времен. Хотя ученые того времени часто собирали природные образцы для исследовательских целей, амстердамский фармацевт Альбертус Себа (1665–1736) не имел себе равных в своей страсти. Его удивительная коллекция животных, растений и насекомых со всего мира еще при его жизни приобрела международную известность.В 1731 году, после десятилетий коллекционирования, Себа заказал тщательные и зачастую живописные иллюстрации каждого экземпляра. С помощью этих дотошных рисунков он организовал публикацию четырехтомного каталога, охватывающего всю коллекцию: от странных и экзотических растений до змей, лягушек, крокодилов, моллюсков, кораллов, птиц и бабочек, а также ныне вымерших существ.Эта репродукция взята с редкого, раскрашенного вручную оригинала. Во введении представлена справочная информация об увлекательной традиции природных коллекций, к которым принадлежали диковинки Себы.Albertus Seba’s unrivalled catalog of animals, insects and plantsThe Cabinet of Natural Curiosities is one of the 18th century’s greatest natural history achievements and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time.

Massimo Listri. Cabinet of Curiosities
Hidden treasures, dreams of universal knowledge, and exquisite beauty The Wunderkammer, or “cabinet of curiosities,” saw collectors gathering objects from many strands of artistic, scientific, and intellectual endeavor, in an ambitious attempt to encompass all of humankind’s knowledge in a single room. From the Grand Duke Francesco I de’ Medici and Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to Archduke Ferdinand II of Habsburg, these aristocratic virtuosos acquired, selected, and displayed the objects in real-life catalogues that represented the entire world—spanning architecture, interior design, painting, sculpture, gemology, geology, botany, biology and taxonomy, astrology, alchemy, anthropology, ethnography, and history. Marvel at the unicorn horns (narwhal tusks), gems, rare coral growths, Murano glasswork, paintings and peculiar mechanical automata. Browse through illustrations of exotic and mythical creatures and discover the famed “Coburg ivories,” an astounding collection of crafted artifacts. These collections are nothing short of a journey through time, from the Renaissance and Age of Discovery, the Mannerist and Baroque periods, up to the present day. Although many of these cabinets of curiosities no longer exist, others have been meticulously reconstructed, and new ones born. These marvelous cabinets of curiosities can now be explored by all in this collection. To realize this mammoth undertaking, Massimo Listri traveled to seven European countries over several decades; the result is a set of gorgeous photographs, an authoritative yet accessible introduction, and detailed commentary on each of the 19 chambers highlighting the most remarkable items in each collection. Discover how these timeless treasures both describe and defined civilization, the modern concept of the museum, and our very knowledge of the universe.

Скрытые сокровища, мечты о всеобщем знании и утонченной красоте.В Wunderkammer, или «кабинете редкостей», коллекционеры собирали предметы из многих направлений художественной, научной и интеллектуальной деятельности в амбициозной попытке охватить все знания человечества в одной комнате.От великого герцога Франческо I Медичи и императора Священной Римской империи Рудольфа II до эрцгерцога Фердинанда II Габсбургского, эти аристократы-виртуозы приобретали, отбирали и демонстрировали объекты в реальных каталогах, которые представляли весь мир — включая архитектуру, дизайн интерьера, живопись, скульптура, геммология, геология, ботаника, биология и таксономия, астрология, алхимия, антропология, этнография и история.Полюбуйтесь рогами единорога (бивнями нарвала), драгоценными камнями, редкими коралловыми наростами, изделиями из муранского стекла, картинами и своеобразными механическими автоматами.

Garland Rosie The Palace of Curiosities
A luminous and bewitching debut novel that is perfect for fans of Angela Carter. Set in Victorian London, it follows the fortunes of Eve, the Lion-Faced Girl and Abel, the Flayed Man. A magical realism delight. Before Eve is born, her mother goes to the circus. She buys a penny twist of coloured sugar and settles down to watch the heart-stopping main attraction: a lion, billed as a monster from the savage heart of Africa, forged in the heat of a merciless sun. Mama swears she hears the lion sigh, just before it leaps…and when Eve is born, the story goes, she didn’t cry – she meowed and licked her paws. When Abel is pulled from the stinking Thames, the mudlarks are sure he is long dead. As they search his pockets to divvy up the treasure, his eyes crack open and he coughs up a stream of black water. But how has he survived a week in that thick stew of human waste? Cast out by Victorian society, Eve and Abel find succour from an unlikely source. They will become The Lion Faced Girl and The Flayed Man, star performers in Professor Josiah Arroner’s Palace of Curiosities. And there begins a journey that will entwine their fates forever.
