- W4239102218 abstract "The thick folio book of Athanasius Kircher is an extraordinary one in many respects, and chiefly in respect to the numerous subjects it treats of, and the number of its woodcut illustrations. Rough as these are, they give us a better idea than mere descriptions of the objects he speaks about. Like other of these old authors, he copies a great deal from his predecessors and contemporaries; indeed one gets wearied of this eternal copying by these, for the most part, old doctor-naturalists, and of the endless cross-references from one to another. Still, for our purpose, which is to give all the literature on the subject, we must submit some few more extracts from old books. The title of Kircher's book is ‘Mundi Subterranei,’ and the first reference we meet with is, in Tom. ii. lib. viii, de Lapidibus, sect. 1, cap. ix. p. 34, fig. “avium in lapidibus expressio,”—of birds expressed on stone. (See Vol. VII. Pl. II. Fig. 6.) We next come to numerous figures of other “flying creatures” at p. 35, etc. Tab. I. is headed, “Figuræ Volucrum, quas Natura in lapidibus depinxit, ex variis Museis decerptæ et aliunde transmissæ.” “Figures of winged creatures, painted by nature on stones, taken from various museums, and otherwise transmitted.”" @default.
