This book is an index to the extensive collection of shells and snails in Les Delices des Yeux et de l'Esprit, written by Louis Renard in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The author disagrees with the system of classification put forth by Linnaeus and sets out to demonstrate how shells can be grouped together by what they resemble. In doing so, this book takes a unique approach to classifying some peculiar and rare shells based on the author's own observations. This book's relevance can be attributed to the fact that while Linnaeus's system was widely accepted and utilized throughout Europe, there were still some outliers who preferred a different classification system. This book offers insight into these alternate perspectives and ideas on the subject.
