It is the last of those elegant works which do not really contain illustrations to a text but which are, in effect, composed of splendid plates with a text to accompany them (…) Scheuchzer hit upon the idea of investigating and supporting with modern methods all places in which the Bible poses problems of natural science." The work deals with all aspects of nature and natural history: Zoology, ichtology, botany, astronomy, etc., following the Bible from Genesis to Apocalypse. The plates are numbered 1-750, extra: 39A, 99B, 133A, 217A, 223A, 340A-B, 446A-C, 463A & 470A. Illustrations 37-39 on 1 plate; nrs. 340 and 446 left out. - Fine set.
