Ulisse Aldrovandi. Title page of Ornithologiae, 1599 Ulisse Aldrovandi (11 September 1522 – 4 May 1605) was an Italian naturalist, the moving force behind Bologna's botanical garden, one of the first in Europe.
Carl Linnaeus and the comte de Buffon reckoned him the father of natural history studies. He is usually referred to, especially in older literature, as Aldrovandus; his name in Italian is equally given as Aldroandi. [a] Life[edit] Aldrovandi was born in Bologna to Teseo Aldrovandi and his wife, a noble but poor family. He obtained a degree in medicine and philosophy in 1553 and started teaching logic and philosophy in 1554 at the University of Bologna. Heresy[edit] In June 1549 he was accused and arrested for heresy, for espousing the anti-trinitarian beliefs of the Anabaptist Camillo Renato. Work[edit] Botanic garden[edit] At his demand and under his direction a public botanic garden was created in Bologna in 1568, now the Orto Botanico dell'Università di Bologna.

Cesalpino è una collezione di exsiccata realizzata fra il 1555 e il 1563.

Cesalpino is a collection of exsiccata put together between 1555 and 1563. It is the oldest herbarium in the world in which the plants are ordered according to systematic criteria. Indeed Cesalpino is considered to be the scientist who laid the foundations of modern systematic botany. The herbarium of Andrea Cesalpino (1525-1603), consisting of dried plants, is considered one of the oldest in the world.
It includes 768 different specimens of vascular plants mounted two or three at a time on 266 paper sheets contained in three boxes. Originally it consisted of a single large volume but in 1844 it was rebound by Parlatore in three volumes.

MICHIEL, Pietro Antonio in "Dizionario Biografico" Preserving the Cutting Edge: Mattioli Woodblocks. The project focuses upon the techniques (and difficulties) of woodblock cutting in the making of printed botanical images, as well as upon the use and reuse of images in two distinct traditions of early modern herbals.
The main focus will be upon the woodblocks cut for a project linking plant anatomy with plant chemistry/alchemy organized by the Berlin court physician and Paracelsian chemist Leonhard Thurneisser (1531-1595/6).
