Ensemble bien complet de ses cinq parties. References : DSB [I, 305-306 : "This taxonomically most important work assured Artedi the honor of being the father of the science of ichthyology. It contains an analytical review of the literature and a philosophical dissertation on a natural classification, proving that he and Linnaeus agreed on the principles that were to govern the new systematics. Artedi applied these to the system of fishes and resumed their synonyms from older literature."]. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ENGLISH_DESCRIPTION : Contemporary full sheep, gilt spine in six compartments.

Artedi is known as the "father of ichthyology" for this pioneering work in classifying the fishes into groups. The foundation of modern ichthyology. Artedi, who drowned in Amsterdam in 1735, is published here posthumously by Carl von Linné, who inherited the manuscripts of Artedi. The classification is based on an order, then a genus and a species. He thus distinguishes four orders of fish and one for cetaceans, 47 genera and 230 species. A very complete set of its five parts.
