		Historia in this sense was ancillary to philosophy, the humble prelude to the philosophical knowledge of causes.
		The notion of historia as direct observation (plus a critically examined tradition of observational reports) seems to have been exported from medicine into general philosophical parlance: in the philosophical lexicons, for instance, the paternity of historia as sensata cognitio is attributed to Galen.
		The versatility of the early modern notion of historia, equally applicable to the domain of natural knowledge and to the study of human action, points to a salient feature of early modern encyclopedism: the lack of a clear-cut boundary between the study of nature and the study of culture.

	Natural History (Pliny) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naturalis Historia (Latin for "Natural History") is an encyclopedia written by Pliny the Elder.
		He describes the Naturalis historia, as a Naturae historia, and characterizes it as a "work that is learned and full of matter, and as varied as nature herself."
		The absence of the author's final revision may partly account for many repetitions, and for some contradictions, for mistakes in passages borrowed from Greek authors, and for the insertion of marginal additions at wrong places in the text.

	Zoology - MSN Encarta
		Observing the development of such animals as the dogfish, chick, and octopus, he noted that general structures appear before specialized ones, and he also distinguished between asexual and sexual reproduction.
		He was also interested in form and structure and concluded that different animals can have similar embryological origins and that different structures can have similar functions.
		Although widely read during the Middle Ages, they are little more than a collection of folklore, myth, and superstition.

	Medieval Bestiary : Manuscript MS Parmense 1278 (H. H. 1.62)
		Its miniatures illustrate the fully developed iconographic cycle for the Historia naturalis which was followed with only minor variations throughout the fifteenth century.
		The iconographic programme of the Cristoforo Cortese Pliny in Parma shows that the two principal strands of imagery developed for the Historia naturalis in the fourteenth century have been skilfully merged.
		The initials for most of the zoological, botanical and medical books are remarkably similar to the Bolognese Pliny of about 1300 [Madrid, Biblioteca Real de San Lorenzo del Escorial, MS R.I.5], and the remaining images can be traced either to the Pietro da Pavia manuscript of 1389 [Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, MS E. 24 inf.

	The Search for the Giant Squid
		Somewhat later, in his Naturalis historia, Pliny discussed a "polyp" that plucked salted fish from the fish ponds of Carteia (on the Atlantic coast of Spain), and "brought on itself the wrath of the keepers, which owing to the persistence of the theft was beyond all bounds." The guards that surrounded the polyp were
		The descriptions and drawings that appeared on his maps firmly established the existence of many fabulous creatures, and were copied, reproduced, and modified for centuries, thus ensuring his place as one of the most important figures in the history of zoology.
		Ulysses Aldrovandi (Depiscibus, 1613) and John Jonstonus (Historia naturalis, 1649) followed with their encyclopedias, and they faithfully repeated Magnus's drawings and fanciful stories, including sea monsters with features of a giant squid.

		Pliny the Elder, who died during an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, wrote the encyclopedia "Historia naturalis," a fundamental source of classical information.
		For centuries after, rulers of the intervening lands also kept finer diamonds from being carried across their territories, thus diminishing the quantities of diamonds that could reach the Mediterranean region.*

	Historia 1997, Mastroberardino - Enoteca Lombardi
		Naturalis Historia is the crowning glory of a process which was begun after the end of the World War II: a rediscovery of the values and flavours of ‘Campania felix’, a noble yet fallen land, stretching out -according to Pliny- as an apron to the sea.
		Naturalis Historia is the result of a marriage between two ‘Italic’ grapes, Aglianico and Piedirosso, cultivated among the green hills of Irpinia: as Virgil says, a land which jealously guards its many mysteries.
		Naturalis Historia is both its lifeblood and its language.

		Della Porta's major work is Magia naturalis (1558), in which he examines the natural world claiming it can be manipulated by the natural philosopher through theoretical and practical experiment.
		Porta's first book, published in 1585 as Magiae naturalis, constituted the basis of a twenty-book edition of the Magia naturalis published in 1589, which is his best-known work and the basis of his reputation.
