Note: Early edition of Goedaert's (1620-1668) famous work on the metamorphosis of insects. The author was a renowned entomologist and landscape painter at Middleburg. Even if not all of the author's conclusions were accurate, the work has been described as "the beginnings of a new direction in the progress of entomology." (Bodenheimer, Geschicte der Entomologie I, pp. 388-90)
