Work “arranged in order by Hugues , behind the discoveries of the most renowned naturalists. Enriched with explanations relating to the customs, tricks, nourishments, and climates inhabited by these Quadrumans, with the manner of hunting them, and with an idea of the use and properties of their meat in Medicine. Dedicated to S.A. Prince Eugene of Beauharnais". In addition to its importance on a scientific level, this work is also a true masterpiece of typographic art: the quality of the plates is the best of the time. This edition is only in Italian (the first of 1812 also had the text in French and German but with 73 tables).
