...His Opera botanica (1551-71), which contained 1,500 illustrations drawn by himself, explored the affinities of plants based on precise depictions of flowers and fruits, and influenced K. von Linnaeus. His Historia animalium (1551-87), a large-scale work, marked the transition from the didactic animal records of the Middle Ages to modern zoological books. It attempted to comprehensively describe all the information known at the time, while placing emphasis on actual observational facts, and summarized the external structure, location, habits, and anatomical characteristics of animals, accompanied by realistic illustrations by the leading painters of the time. He was also well versed in classical languages, and compiled and published the Compendium of Libraries (1545-55), a complete set of four volumes. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Historia animalium" are listed below.
