ROSA Vincenzo Metodo di preparare e conservare gli uccelli per i gabinetti di storia naturale.

Not in Zimmer.

First edition.

Vincenzo Rosa (1750-1819) was curator of the Natural History Museum at the University of Pavia from 1787. A fervent supporter of Linnaeus’ system, Rosa devoted his entire life to classifying the specimens kept at the museum, as well as those collected during his travels in Sicily and North Africa from 1792 onwards.

His work on the naturalization of specimens explains the process to be followed in 100 highly detailed points.

A good copy, entirely untrimmed.
