ARISTOTELES (384–322 BCE). De animalibus. Translated by Theodorus Gaza. Edited by Sebastianus Manilius. Venice: Johannes and Gregorius de Gregoriis, 18 November 1492.

Second edition of the first printed text on biology. De animalibus comprises Aristotle’s three main zoological works: De historia animalium, De partibus animalium and De generatione animalium. They formed the first collection of biological treatises ever printed when the first edition appeared at Venice in 1476. None of these texts were included in the Opera until the Aldine Greek edition of 1495–98. They contain ‘an immense collection of biological data – anatomical, physiological, behavioral – on over five hundred species of animals’ (Grolier, Medicine). Theodorus Gaza was a leading Classical scholar, and it was through studying his translation of the present texts, along with the Greek originals printed in the Aldine Opera, that Aldus Manutius recommended learning Greek. The fine full-page border opening the text also appeared in Boccaccio’s Decameron, printed by the same printers in June of the same year.
