Publisher's Synopsis
"On the Identification of the Animals and Plants of India Which Were Known to Early Greek Authors" explores the historical intersection of classical Greek knowledge and the natural world of India. This work delves into the writings of early Greek authors to identify and understand the animals and plants of India that were known to them, offering insights into the cross-cultural exchange of knowledge in ancient times.
Compiled and presented by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Valentine Ball, and Frances Watkis, this study provides a valuable resource for historians, botanists, zoologists, and anyone interested in the history of science and the classical world's understanding of the Indian subcontinent. It sheds light on how ancient scholars perceived and documented the biodiversity of India, bridging the gap between classical texts and the natural history of India.
