<p>1731 Physica Sacra (Sacred Physics) by Johann Scheuchzer (1672-1733) folio copper engraving of the fifth day of creation (with later hand colouring) drawn by a team of engravers under the direction of Johann Andreas Pfeffel (1674-1748). Insects are normally considered as created on the sixth day \creeping things\ but here they are the \swarms\ of the fifth. Scheuchzer's goal was to use the best contemporary science to illuminate the biblical account of human history in a sequence of 745 plates. At the time there was little doubt that science (physica) supported the literal truth of the Biblical chronology of creation and history. Arthropods including exotic insects from the New World (Rhinoceros Beetle and Hamadryas buttefly) are illustrated with better known European species (Stag beetle, cicada) and illustrations of metamorphosis. Black and white version also available in collection.</p>
