Georg Eberhard Rumpf, known as the Indian Pliny, was a preeminent seventeenth-century naturalist whose documentation of the flora and fauna of Ambon remains a landmark of scientific observation. This volume provides a critical examination of his seminal work, detailing the meticulous classification of shells, crustaceans, and minerals found within the Indonesian archipelago.
