One of the books that I find completely fascinating is
Albertus Seba’s Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. It’s a
large, heavy book filled with some of the most awesome
documentations of our natural environment.
Albertus Seba (1665-1736) was a pharmacist based in
Amsterdam who had an immense passion for collecting
plant and animal specimens, and had cataloged them in
four volumes detailing his inventory.
