They number ninety-nine; almost all are of fishes of Italy with some from Illyria and the Archipelago not counting a few mollusks.” Georges Cuvier Historical portrait of the progress of ichthyology edited by Theodore Pietsch 1995. It is generally believed that Nicolas Beatricetto designed the title and some of the illustrations whilst the illustrations are by Antoine Lafrery. Ippolito Salviani (1514-1572) studied medicine in Rome where he also developed an interest in natural history and in particular ichthyology. Under the patronage of Cardinal Cervini later Pope Marcellus II his studies were developed and financed not only on the coast of Italy but also in other Mediterranean and Northern European regions. Cervini died before the work was printed however and the work was dedicated instead to Pope Paul IV.
