| ANIMALIVM genera vti multa, variaque sunt in toto | |
| terrarum orbe, suis provinciis, & naturis appropriata, ac | |
| distributa, vt elephantes, cameli, leopardi, leones, struthiones, | Animalia calidarum regionum. |
| tigrides, simeæ, & id genus reliqua, sine pilorum | |
| densitate in calidis terris numero incomparabili multiplicata: | |
| Ita & in frigidis regionibus complures reperiuntur | |
| bestiæ, sed valde pilosæ, propter asperrinas hyemes exuperandas: | Animalia frigidarum terrarum. |
| vt sunt vrsi albi, vri nigri, alces alti, rangiferi proceri, | |
| lupi feroces, gulones voraces, lynces perspicaces, lutræ | |
| fallaces, castores medicinales, damulæ pavidæ, vulpeculæ astutæ, nigræ, & albæ, | |
| atque aliæ alibi inusitatæ naturæ, & nominis bestiæ, successivis capitibus inferius | |
| per ordinem diligentius insinuandæ: ea potissimum causa, vt pius inspector agnoscant, | |
| quam admirabilis excessi creatoris affectus, & amor est in omnibus creaturis | Conservatio animalium. |
| suis, vbique terrarum suæ dispositioni subjectis, maxime in frigidissimo climate Septentrionalis | |
| plagæ ( concessa naturali sagacitate ) conservandis: scilicet vt vndique | |
| conclusa nivibus, & gelu tellure, pastum prohibente, nedum vivere, sed & genus | |
| producere, atque alere possint, & inter asperrima elementa illæsæ manere. Sobrie | |
| tamen de vniuscujusque animantis genere, vbicunque vivat, est sentiendum: quia invariabilis | |
| naturæ lex ita statuit, vt nullibi melius, quam vbi productum sit, persistere | Lex naturæ invariabilis. |
| possit. Et ob id feruntur elephantes ad alienas terras producendi, non ante | |
| naves conscendere, quam invitati rectoris jurejurando de reditu fuerint certificati. | |
| Quod nec mirum est ( teste Plinio cap. I. octavi libri ) quia dociles sunt, | Elephantum natura. |
| vt Regem adorent, genua submittant, coronas porrigant, atque horum | |
| mirabiliora naturæ præcepto mirantibus cunctis, sive sua natura, | |
| sive alieno motu committant: vivuntque, teste beato Ambrosio, | |
| communiter CCC. annis: & hoc, vt serviant | |
| imperiis humanis, & homo ipsi benignissimo Deo. | |
