About this book
The title page outlines a general view of serpents through their kinds, size, food, movement, reproduction, covering and colours. The outline announces an account of vegetable, mineral and animal poison, particularly serpent poison, with its treatment in various nations and the serpent's use as food and medicine. The second part is described as a view of most serpents known in different parts of the world, distinguished by names, countries and qualities.
The title page adds a third part containing six dissertations on subjects collateral to the main subject, including the primeval serpent in Paradise. The discussion of crocodiles says that the inhabitants of Tentyra despised the creatures and often brought them to the Roman shows for diversion.
