Note | Conrad Gessner (1516-1565) : universal scholar and natural scientist of the Renaissance / by Urs B. Leu ; translated by Bill C. Ray. "Originally published in German in 2016 as Conrad Gessner (1516-1565): Universalgelehrter und Naturforscher der Renaissance by NZZ Libro, Schwabe Verlagsgruppe AG, Basel, Switzerland."--Title page verso. Includes bibliographical references and index. "The Zurich polymath Conrad Gessner (1516-1565) is known as the founder of zoology and plant geography, the father of bibliography, editor of ancient texts, and author of one of the most important paleontological works of the sixteenth century. While preparing his extensive work on plants, he died unexpectedly and early from the plague. Gessner's interest in the natural sciences was rooted, on the one hand, in the new conception of nature that emerged with the Renaissance, and, on the other hand, in the creation theology of the Reformation, which considered nature as a second book of God's revelation next to the Bible. This richly illustrated and erudite biography is the first biography of Gessner to appear in English"-- Provided by publisher. Local access dig.pdf. [Leu-Gessner.pdf] |

Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-250). 內容簡介 · · · · · · 本書不追求“明清動物文化與中外交流”這一論題體系的完整性,而旨在通過對明清間《坤輿萬國全圖》《職方外紀》《坤輿全圖》《坤輿圖說》《獅子說》等漢文西書,以及《澳門紀略》《獸譜》《海錯圖》等一系列明清動物文獻的細讀,展示有關來華西方傳教士和中國知識人參與的各種動物知識文本的生產,以及不同媒介、文類和文化贊助者介入製作和流通的若干個案,由此揭示一系列有關中外動物文化交流的新議題。 本書特別留意在全球史的背景下,將這些議題放入中國、東亞與世界的坐標之中,梳理出中外動物文化交流史宏大和壯闊的歷史畫面。作者力圖揭示明清圍繞動物知識所展開的種種激烈的文化碰撞和交融的複雜面向,引導出不同於以往中外動物文化史研究的知識範疇,提供一種新的知識史和文化史交流的研究視野。 目錄 · · · · · · 第一篇 鄭和下西洋與中外動物知識 第二篇 明清間耶穌會士與西方動物知識的引入 第三編 典籍中的動物知識與譯名 第四編 動物圖譜與中外知識互動 全書結語 |
