Buffon's Natural History. Volume 05 (of 10) by Buffon
"Buffon's Natural History. Volume 05 (of 10)" by Buffon is an encyclopedic work published in 1755. This volume forms part of a monumental 36-volume collection covering all natural sciences known in the eighteenth century. Volume five continues Buffon's systematic exploration of quadrupeds, documenting animal morphology and behavior. The work achieved immense success, selling out its first edition within six weeks, though it drew criticism from religious authorities for challenging biblical timelines. Buffon's
comparative anatomy and secular approach helped establish modern natural history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
