First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
Ulisse Aldrovandi's 'Ornithologiae' is a massive multi-volume work originally published in Latin. My search results confirm that while there is no complete English translation of the entire work, there is a published English translation of a specific section, 'Aldrovandi on Chickens' (1963), translated by L. R. Lind. Therefore, this is the first complete translation of the work, as only partial translations currently exist.
