Book Synopsis
This illustrated 1752 publication brings together two seventeenth-century works that paved the way for the study of palaeontology. Sicilian artist Agostino Scilla (16291700) and Neapolitan botanist Fabio Colonna (15671640) both argued that fossils were the remains of living organisms rather than extraordinary mineral phenomena with magical properties.
