520    Publisher's description: Some years ago, David Freedberg 
       opened a dusty cupboard at Windsor Castle and discovered 
       hundreds of vividly colored, masterfully precise drawings 
       of all sorts of plants and animals from the Old and New 
       Worlds. Coming upon thousands more drawings like them 
       across Europe, Freedberg finally traced them all back to a
       little-known scientific organization from seventeenth-
       century Italy called the Academy of Linceans (or Lynxes). 
       Founded by Prince Federico Cesi in 1603, the Linceans took
       as their task nothing less than the documentation and 
       classification of all of nature in pictorial form. In this
       first book-length study of the Linceans to appear in 
       English, Freedberg focuses especially on their 
       unprecedented use of drawings based on microscopic 
       observation and other new techniques of visualization. 
       Where previous thinkers had classified objects based 
       mainly on similarities of external appearance, the 
       Linceans instead turned increasingly to sectioning, 
       dissection, and observation of internal structures. They 
       applied their new research techniques to an incredible 
       variety of subjects, from the objects in the heavens 
       studied by their most famous (and infamous) member Galileo
       Galilei--whom they supported at the most critical moments 
       of his career--to the flora and fauna of Mexico, bees, 
       fossils, and the reproduction of plants and fungi. But by 
       demonstrating the inadequacy of surface structures for 
       ordering the world, the Linceans unwittingly planted the 
       seeds for the demise of their own favorite method--visual 
       description-as a mode of scientific classification. 
       Profusely illustrated and engagingly written, Eye of the 
       Lynx uncovers a crucial episode in the development of 
       visual representation and natural history. And perhaps as 
       important, it offers readers a dazzling array of early 
       modern drawings, from magnificently depicted birds and 
       flowers to frogs in amber, monstrously misshapen citrus 
       fruits, and more.
