Ulisse Aldrovandi: Naturalist and Collector

by Peter Mason

A critical biography of the early modern Italian naturalist.

The Bolognese naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi was a prolific writer, polymath, and prodigious collector who amassed the largest collection of naturalia in sixteenth-century Europe, as well as hundreds of colored drawings detailing them. Many of these drawings found their way into his illustrated publications, most of which were published posthumously.
