Ambroise Pare, born in France around 1510, was chief surgeon to
both Charles IX and Henri III. In one of the first attempts to
explain birth defects, Pare produced "On Monsters and Marvels," an
illustrated encyclopedia of curiosities, of monstrous human and
animal births, bizarre beasts, and natural phenomena. Janice
Pallister's acclaimed English translation offers a glimpse of the
natural world as seen by an extraordinary Renaissance natural
philosopher.
