Summary
[edit]DescriptionFrontispiece baier.jpg |
Frontispiece to book. The frontispiece depicts a beach with putti presenting Cybele with baskets of ammonites, fossil echinoderms, belemnites, etc., while Neptune rides on a shell on the sea surrounded by naiads bearing baskets of shells; i.e. the affinities of the living and fossil forms. The Latin note after it reads Norica dum gremio tellus conchylia fundit Saxea, quae quondam testa a fuere maris : Dum glebas inter medicas, marmorqe, met allumque Et lapidum formas: monstra marina jacent; His stupuit Visis pelago Neptunus in alto; Sic ait. & tellus caerula regna senet ? Tellus, quam dudum prudens Deus abscidit undis Et sibi res proprias jussit habere suas? Tum venit in mentem mersi semel orbis imago Qvam gravis Oceano mist a nataret humus ; Tunc, ubi placatum terris mare funera liquit, Multa simul tumulis obruta concha fuit. Qvi vero o Numen ! (pergit ) tot secula durant? Sedula quae rursum colligit ista manus ? Disce homo nosse Deum summum, qvi talia praestat Et Collectori lingua animoque fave Interprete </ref> |
