Seine Tierbücher stellen das massgebende zoologische Werk zwischen Aristoteles und dem Erscheinen von Rays Klassifikation der Fauna dar" (Carter-Muir 77). "Bereits früh scheint Gessners Absicht festgestanden zu haben, eine Tierenzyklopädie zu publizieren, obwohl sein Plan, eine systematische Wiedergabe aller Wissensgebiete für Forscher, Lehrer und Bibliotheken als Referenz herauszugeben, noch viel weiter gefasst war. Für ihn war dies die Eroberung der geistigen Welt und der Natur durch Gedächtnis und Fleiss." (A. Rübel, Conrad Gessner als Zoologe, in: U. Leu/M. Ruoss (Herausgeber), Conrad Gessner 1516-2016, S. 148). - Wenige Bl. mit ausgebesserten Randfehlstellen oder Einrissen (ohne Textverlust), leicht gebräunt, stellenweise fleckig u. wasserrandig.
