Visual immersion: Daniele Barbaro's fish album and the wave of interest in aquatic creatures in mid sixteenth-century Europe
The mid sixteenth century wave of encyclopaedic publications about fish and other water creatures introduced massive numbers of newly made naturalia images. This article concentrates on the phase of image making and collecting that came before print. The focus is on the lost album with fish drawings created before 1551 by the Venetian humanist Daniele Barbaro and his personal painter Maestro Plinio. Naturalists such as Belon, Salviani and Aldrova…

Aldrovandi, truthfully drawing naturalia, and local context
This essay focuses on the 16th -century Bolognese naturalist and collector Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) and his enormous image collection of naturalia. Do these images present a specifically Bolognese form of visual natural science, and was his visual format of truthfulness new at the time? Did Local visual culture leave clear marks on Aldrovandi's image collection? On cover:ANNIBALE CARRACCI (BOLOGNA 1560 - ROME 1609), An Allegory of Truth and …
Martin Lister and his Remarkable Daughters
This is a delightful book to read and to look at. The design, layout and, especially, the illustration of Anna Marie Roos’s publication are as important to its contents – as were the marvellous drawings, etchings and engravings (especially of shells) to those of the path-breaking Historiae conchyliorum published in 1685 by the British physician, collector and naturalist Martin Lister (1639–1712). That work, the first organized, systematic publica…
"Crooked justice". Corruption, inequality and civic rights in the early modern Netherlands
With the help of several case studies from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, this article focuses on two key questions. How did ordinary Dutch citizens protect themselves against corruption and misuse of power by law enforcement agents, public prosecutors and the courts? And, whose interests were actually being served by the early modern criminal justice system? Or, put another way: whose order was being maintained and who was excluded from it? …
Experimenting with Living Nature: Documented Practices of Sixteenth-Century Naturalists and Naturalia Collectors
n\tis article discusses experimentation in the context of sixteenth-century natu- ral history, or natural science as I prefer to call it here. It uses predominantly textual sources, many of them manuscript letters, from di erent European countries, mainly Italy, the Low Countries, France and Germany-Austria. e focus is on the practice of experimentation and its documentation, partly because I proceed from the assumption that the investigation of …
A collection within a collection
This article reports on the re-identification of two late-sixteenth-century albums in the University Library of Amsterdam, each containing large numbers of watercolour drawings of animals, pasted on to sheets of paper. Discussing the images, annotations, artists, watermarks, and bindings, as well as the relationships of the images with printed illustrations, the essay demonstrates that these albums were created by the Swiss physician Felix Platte…
Flora: The Erbario Miniato and Other Drawings
Almost two years after the publication of a work on fungi (2005), the publication of the Erbario Miniato in two volumes forms a new milestone in the Cassiano dal Pozzo Project. As explained in the two short introductions by Francis Haskell and Henrietta McBurney, and by David Freedberg respectively, the Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo was created between the early 1620s and the late 1650s by the Marchese Federico Cesi, initiator of the Accadem…

The Noble and the Ignoble Bandit
Tracing developments in the literary representations of four famous West-European bandits - Cartouche, Bakelandt, Jan de Lichte and Schinderhannes - this paper shows how most of the tales about these bandits revolve around two stereotypical images: the Noble and the Ignoble Bandit. Both images can be regarded as inversions of the equally stereotypical self-image of established West-European citizens. Though many of the bandit-tales at first sight…
