Emanuel König (1658-1731) was a German physicist and physician from Basel. Strangely, this classic description of the animal kingdom, which includes a rigorous anatomical and mechanical approach, is classified as a work of spiritual magic in the 17th-century library of occult sciences. However, this work served as a basis for Swedenborg in his writings.
Medallion-shaped ex libris Picard Avenionsis.
