¶ Pliny's Natural History - one of the great books of antiquity, by one of the most inquiring minds in the history of science - first appeared in English in Holland's translation in 1601. It is also Philemon Holland's ("the translator generall in his age") most popular translation. Pliny's is more than a natural history: it is an encyclopaedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world - It comprises thirty-seven books dealing with mathematics and physics, geography and astronomy, medicine and zoology, anthopology and physiology, philosophy and history, agriculture and mineralogy, the arts and letters - Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of knowledge is Pliny" (PMM)
