In -folio, 43 cc. rilegate in mezza pelle e carta marmorizzata. Stefano delle Chiaie (1794-1860) fu un naturalista di area napoletana, ricordato per i suoi studi di botanica, anatomia, biologia, fra i quali quelli su invertebrati e molluschi (l’ambito di questo manoscritto). Il manoscritto è parte del lavoro cui Delle Chiaie si dedicò nell’ultima parte della sua vita, cioè la cura degli inediti del suo predecessore Filippo Cavolini (1756-1810), morto improvvisamente in seguito all’aggressione di un soldato mentre stava eseguendo una ricerca in barca nel Golfo di Napoli. Early and important researches on octopusses: Stefano delle Chiaie was a neapolitan scientist committed to many subjects, and between them the study of mollusks, argument of this manuscript that’s part of the work which Delle Chiaie dedicated himself to in the later part of his scientific career, i.e. the edition of manuscripts of his ancient colleague and master Filippo Cavolini, suddenly dead by an accident while doing his sea researches in Naples’ Gulf.

Legatura in pelle verde con nervi e titolo in oro al dorso. Seconda edizione di uno dei più antichi lavori di zoologia sistematica mai pubblicato in Inghilterra, il lavoro di Pennant si basava sull’osservazione di corrispondenti scientifici europei e americani, e sui suoi studi condotti su collezioni private e musei. Le numerose tavole illustrate includono, in particolare nel secondo volume, diversi animali estinti. L’opera era originariamente concepita come una ricognizione della zoologia del Nord America, ma fu poi ampliata con le descrizioni di fauna europea e asiatica al di sopra dei 60° di latitudine Nord. "The content of the volumes, one of the earliest works of systematic zoology published in Britain, is based on the writings of earlier zoologists, information obtained by Pennant from his scientific correspondents all over Europe and America, and his studies in private museums and collections. It is embellished with engravings of animals, birds, landscapes and artefacts. Volume 2 deals with land and water birds, including some, such as the passenger pigeon, which are now extinct." (Cambridge University Press, 2014) “The work, which must be regarded as the most prominent of Pennant’s works, was originally planned as a sketch of the zoology of North America, but was later enlarged with the addition of descriptions of the quadrupeds and birds of the parts of Europe and Asia lying north of latitude 60 degrees N” (Anker 397)
