Dominican friar Agostino del Riccio (1541-98) was an ardent gardener who wrote agricultural theses on practical gardening and many other works about natural history. In one thesis, he projected an ideal garden for a sovereign, gathering many elements derived from contemporary gardens. These elements, which contained many natural objects, strongly reflected Riccio's interests about natural history. This study examins his ways of representing the natural world, and identifies parallel ways of representation in contemporary studies of natural history, recently termed Emblematic Natural History by history of science scholars.
