Exoticorum libri decem

Exoticorum libri decem is an illustrated zoological and botanical compendium in Latin, published at Leiden in 1605 by Charles [de l'Écluse].
On the title page the author's name appears in its well-known Latin form Carolus Clusius. The full title is: Exoticorum libri decem, quibus animalium, plantarum, aromatum, aliorumque peregrinorum fructuum historiae describuntur.
Clusius was not only an original biologist but also a remarkable linguist. He became well known as a translator and editor of the works of others. Exoticorum libri decem consists partly of his own discoveries, partly of translated and edited versions of earlier publications, always properly acknowledged, and with many new illustrations. Separately identifiable within this compendium can be found Clusius's Latin translations, with his own notes, from:

Garcia de Orta, Colóquios [dos Simples e Drogas da India|Colóquios dos simples e drogas he cousas medicinais da Índia]
Nicolás Monardes, Historia medicinal de [las cosas que se traen de nuestras Indias Occidentales]
Cristóbal Acosta, Tractado de las drogas y medicinas de las Indias orientales

There is also material by Prospero Alpini with notes by Clusius. As a separately paginated appendix appears Clusius's Latin translation of:

Pierre Belon, ''Observations''
