Book Overview

Thomae Bartholini De unicornu observationes novae, a second, augmented edition edited by Caspar Bartholin, continues the examination of the unicorn, a creature of both myth and perceived medical significance. Originally authored by Thomas Bartholin and published in 1678, this work delves into the natural history and purported medicinal properties associated with the unicorn horn. The book reflects the scientific and medical perspectives of the 17th century, exploring the intersection of zoology, pharmacology, and folklore. This edition, featuring enhancements by Caspar Bartholin, offers valuable insights into the historical understanding of natural phenomena and the evolution of medical thought. Illustrated by Romeyn de Hooghe and published by Henricus Wetstein, this volume stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the unicorn and its place in the intellectual landscape of early modern Europe.
