An impressive and highly desirable 1672 edition of Lodovico Moscardo’s catalog of his ‘Wunderkammer’, or Cabinet of Curiosities. Many scientists and archaeologists had such exhibits but Moscardo’s was of note. He published a book describing and outlining the contents of this museum which contained not only works of art, but specimens of antiquity such as weapons, coins, clocks, instruments, fossils and shells, pottery and jewelry, gems and stones, and minerals found all around the world. According to Findlen,

“the catalogues of 17th-century collections such as those of Veronese noble Ludovico Moscardo were all models of wit and persuasions; dwarfs, chameleons, birds of paradise, and abnormal trees formed by nature happily coexisted alongside mathematical instruments.”

 

This fine 1672 edition features a myriad of impressive illustrations throughout, printed in Verona – the home of Moscardo’s 17th-century museum.
