The Ornothology of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1600) Volume II Book XIV
by Ulisse Aldrovandi
Edited and translated by L. R. Lind
Aldrovandi on Chickens, written in 1598, is the first English translation of any work by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi. It exemplifies the spirit and the letter of Renaissance science—the former, in the extensive classical references; the latter, through careful examination of every process involved with the raising or use of chickens.
The Scots, a people noted for their frugality, invested with almost reckless abandon in American cattle-raising ventures in the 1880s. Among the companies thus financed, the Matador Land and Cattle Company was unique. It operated first and foremost as a business enterprise designed to produce profit over a long period of time; sun, sweat, and stable leather were only incidental to the primary purpose of raising quality beef.
