Framed Print of Gessner, Bat, 16th Century
As for the bat, Gessner says, "it is half way between a bird and a mouse." Although it bears live young and feeds them milk, he feels it should be classed with birds because it flies. Historiae Animalium (Studies on Animals) is considered to be the first modern zoological work. This first attempt to describe many of the animals accurately is illustrated with hand-colored woodcuts drawn from personal observations by Gessner and his colleagues. Conrad Gessner (March 26, 1516 - December 13, 1565) was a Swiss naturalist and bibliographer. To his contemporaries he was best known as a botanist, but in 1551 he was the first to describe brown adipose tissue; and in 1565 the first to document the pencil. He died of the plague, at the age of 49, the year after his ennoblement. © Science Source
