‎Third edition of this interesting and highly popular work offering a theological interpretation of natural history typical of the early 17th century, where natural phenomena were often seen through religious and moral symbolism. Editions appeared in Wittenberg in 1612, 1613, 1616,1621, 1624, 1633, 1642, 1659 and Amsterdam in 1643, 1654, 1665 “In 1612, the protestant theologian Wolfgang Franzius published a book entitled Historia animalium sacra. Franzius (Franz or Frantze, 1564–1628) was Probst [Rural Dean] of Wittenberg and professor of theology at the university. Wittenberg – the city where Luther had initiated the Reformation in 1517 – was still a stronghold for the Reformation, but the Catholic Counter-Reformation was a threatening reality. The Historia animalium sacra was widely read: A long series of editions appeared from 1612 until 1671, and an English translation was published in London in 1670. To later readers, Franzius’s work was presented together with extensive commentaries written by Johannes Cyprianus (1642–1723), professor of physics and later of theology in Leipzig.” (Roggen, Biology and Theology in Franzius’s Historia Animalium Sacra).‎

‎Summary This book forms the complement to the first volume published in 2000. The preface contains some remarks about the transmission of the text as a supplement to the first volume. Then follow the critical edition of books 6-10, and the indices for the whole text. The complete edition gives access to the longest and most important work from Aristotle's zoology, De historia animalium, in the Latin translation by William of Moerbeke. This version was part of the standard university curriculum in the late-medieval West. The bilingual indices give access to the richness of the translator's vocabulary and provide an indispensable tool for the study of his translation method. Except for De partibus animalium, all of Moerbeke's translations from the Aristotelian zoological corpus are now available in critical editions.‎
