just as aristotle had passed his work on to his disciples, aldrovandi hoped that his own pupils would continue the unfinished business of writing the definitive history of nature. at the end of his life, his literary production -mostly based on the objects of his museum- totaled more than 400 volumes, a number that he claimed would take more than a century to print. \u2018and with all this i have kept three scribes in my house, excellent painters, designers, engravers, and have spent much on transportation [of artifacts] and on a library that can stand up to any other particular library in italy.\u2019 while it is hardly surprising that we should find aldrovandi's attempts to bring all knowledge under one roof overwhelming, given our own assumption that there is always more to know, the number and size of his many unfinished projects amazed even contemporaries\u2026 \n \n \u201cseparate from the thirteen printed volumes, which covered a range of topics -birds, insects, fish, quadrupeds, serpents, monsters, and hard objects, that is, stones, metals, gems, and fossils- the manuscripts included aldrovandi 's voluminous correspondence, drafts of treatises, tables that classified and tabulated the natural world, and his own encyclopedic compendia that organized all his reading notes alphabetically, topically, and geographically.\u201d (findlen, possessing nature) \n \n the scope and titles of the volumes ae as follows: \n \n vols. i-iii. the ornithology: \n ornithologiae, hoc est, de avibus historiae libri... \n vol. iv. fishes & whales: \n de piscibus libri v et de cetibus lib. unus. \n vol. v. monsters: \n monstrorum historia cum paralipomenis historiae omnium animalium \n vol. vi. from dogs to chameleons: the \u201cclawed\u201d quadrupeds: \n de quadrupedib. digitatis viviparis libri tres, et de quadrupedibus digitatis oviparis libri duo. bartholomaeus ambrosinus\u2026 collegit \n vol. vii. cloven-hoofed quadrupeds: \n quadrupedum omnium bisulcorum historia \n vol. viii. solid-hoofed quadrupeds: \n de quadrupedibus solidipedibus volumen integrum, joannes cornelius uterverius, collegit et recensuit. hyeronimus tamburinus in lucem edidit \n vol. ix. marine invertebrates: \n de reliquis animalibus exanguibus libri quatuor, nempe de mollibus, crustaceis, testaceis, et zoophytis \n vol. x. snakes & dragons: \n serpentum, et draconum historiae libri duo \n vol. xi. the botanical collection: \n dendrologiae naturalis scilicet arborum historiae libri duo sylua glandaria, acinosumque pomarium vbi eruditiones omnium generum un&agrave;
