The history of serpents. Or, The second book of living creatures: wherein is contained their divine, natural, and moral descriptions, with their lively figures, names, conditions, kinds and natures of all venomous beasts: with their several poisons and antidotes; their deep hatred to mankind, and the wonderful work of God in their creation, and destruction. Necessary and profitable to all sorts of men: collected out of divine Scriptures, fathers, philosophers, physicians, and poets: amplified with sundry accidental histories, hieroglyphics, epigrams, emblems, and enigmatical observations. By Edward Topsell, 1608.
