About This Item
SECOND, ENLARGED, EDITION, first published in 1668 as Onomasticon zoicon. Charleton's work gives a list of all the known animals at that time by their respective English, Latin, and Greek names. Of interest in the history of ornitholgy, it is the first work by an English author to add illustrations to a list of birds.
The title bears the vignette of the famous Sheldonian Theatre. Physician to Charles I, anatomist and philosopher, Walter Charleton (1619-1707) was one of the first to embrace his contemporary William Harvey's new theory of blood circulation. He distinguished himself by extensive knowledge in the various branches of medicine, and his writings are commended for their method and clarity.
