Ornithologiae, by the Bolognese naturalist and physician Ulisse Aldrovandi, printed in Bologna in 1599 as a scholarly natural history of birds for university readers and naturalists. Its woodcut plates show single birds of prey and other species posed in profile on rocks or branches, with plants and small details placed beside them, offering a designer clear models of early modern scientific bird illustration.
