N.pl., 2021. 293 pp. Col. ills. Softcover.Dissertation to obtain the degree of doctor at Leiden University. Text in English, with summary in Dutch. - - This dissertation examines how in eighteenth-century Europe, naturalists sought to study, grasp and capture the world of fish. Working on the intersection of the history of science and book history, this research aims to shed light on how naturalists came to present themselves as authorities in an emerging field. It does so by focussing on a set of ‘fish books’, i.e., natural historical works that describe and depict fish.
