Naturalis Historiae [Latin]

By Gaius Plinius Secundus and Ludovicus Ianus

Naturalis Historiae, Libri VII-XV, the second volume, continues Pliny the Elder's comprehensive survey of the natural world. Written in Latin, this monumental work encompasses a vast range of subjects, from human anatomy and physiology to zoology and botany, reflecting the knowledge and understanding of the Roman world in the first century AD. Pliny's encyclopedic approach provides invaluable insights into ancient science, medicine, and natural philosophy.

This volume offers a detailed examination of various species of animals and plants, their properties, and their uses in medicine and daily life. Pliny's work stands as a testament to the Roman fascination with the natural world and remains a significant source for understanding the history of science and the classical world. Edited by Ludovicus Ianus, this edition provides a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in classical literature and the history of science.
