Specialist Notes
An encyclopedic work ranging from history to mythology. Similar in structure to Gellius's Attic Nights, it is one of the first to present the new discoveries of Renaissance science, albeit in a completely unsystematic and cumbersome form, to a popular, non-specialist audience. It enjoyed widespread circulation throughout Europe, with dozens of editions.
