The first full-length study of the Nova Reperta (New Discoveries), a renowned series of prints designed by Johannes Stradanus during the late 1580s in Florence. The book seeks to understand why certain inventions or novelties were represented in the series and how that presentation reflected their adoption in the sixteenth century.
