"Cassiano dal Pozzo, (1588-1657) now celebrated as one of the most important art patrons
in Italy of the seventeenth century, commissioned a number of exquisite studies of
birds as part of his famous "Paper Museum." In 1622 the lawyer and ornithologist Giovanni
Pietro Olina used these drawings, which are now kept in the Royal Library at Windsor
Castle, as the basis for the illustrations in his Uccelliera. Pasta for Nightingales
combines Cassiano's original artwork with selections from the first modern translation
of Olina's text. It includes such enchanting insights as the idea that robins suffered
from dizziness and that the hoopoe overindulged in grapes until it became "dazed and
halfdrunk." However, it also includes much fascinating early natural history and ornithological
observation--as well as the secret recipe for pasta to keep your nightingale happy
and encourage it to sing. A historic and delightful gift book, which is bound to appeal
to every bird-lover."--Dust jacket
