This book is a new critical edition of Aelian`s seventeen books on De natura animalium, a work of a Roman author writing in Greek, which leads us to the world of late Greco-Roman culture and thought. This is an important work for scholars interested in zoology, animals` habits and behaviour, Stoic Philosophy, Medieval bestiaries backgrounds, and Greek language of Late Antiquity. In Aelian`s own words, he aims to collect all material about animals´ habits and behaviour. Aelians` deep stoicism emerges from the text in a peculiar didactic and moralistic tone.
