Global Aldrovandi
Exchanging Nature and Material Culture in the Early Modern World
Series: - Nuncius Series, Volume: 17
Global Aldrovandi represents the first volume to consider the Bolognese polymathâs engagement with the growing world of the early modern period through a variety of disciplinary approaches. The essays engage with the complex network the naturalist developed throughout Europe and interrogate his vast archival holdings and collections, considering his impact not only on the early modern period but also into modern times. Traveling from the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and throughout Europe, the book tells the rich story of an early modern armchair naturalist who traversed the globe via his own studies, correspondence, and collection.
