The Apiarium by Federico Cesi, the founder of the so-called “Accademia dei Lincei”, is a single broadsheet (107 x 69.5 cm; actually it is four sheets joined together) that gives an overview of the biology of the honeybee.
1 de mar. de 2015 · Stelluti and Cesi used Galileo’s compound microscope to view never-before-seen anatomical structures of bees, described in their 1625 text Apiarium—marking the first published microscopic discoveries.
In his lifetime, though, Cesi just published a rather convoluted treatise on bees (Apiarium) in 1625, and starting from 1628 some of the Ta-bulae phytosophicae, which eventually replaced the whole Theatrum naturae.
28 de oct. de 2022 · The founder of the Accademia published the first record of microscopic observations, more precisely of bees, in his Apiarium (1625) long before Robert Hooke (1635–1703) would publish his Micrographia (1665) and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) would note his observations.
In this first publication of observations made with a microscope, Cesi and Stelluti studied the anatomy of the bee. The text includes classical references to bees as well as new knowledge, integrated in a tabular outline.
In the text Cesi describes the eyes of the bee as beautiful golden dice boxes, arranged in a kind of net work, separated by hairy columns which form little lines.
