De Historia Piscium, (Latin for 'Of the History of Fish') is a scientific book written by Francis Willughby and published by the Royal Society in 1686. It was unpopular and sold poorly, causing severe strain on the finances of the society. This resulted in the society being unable to meet its promise to finance the publication of Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", better known simply as Principia), leaving this to Edmond Halley, who was then the clerk of the society. After Halley had personally financed the publication of Principia, he was informed that the society could no longer afford to provide him the promised annual salary of £50. Instead, the similarly wealthy Halley was paid with left-over copies of De Historia Pi

  • De Historia Piscium, latim para "A História dos Peixes," foi um livro científico escrito por Francis Willughby e publicado pela Royal Society em 1686. Foi um livro pouco popular e com poucas vendas, causando constrangimentos financeiros na sociedade. Devido a isso, a sociedade ficou impossibilitada de cumprir a sua promessa de publicar a obra de Isaac Newton, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (mais conhecida simplesmente por Principia), deixando essa tarefa a Edmund Halley. Depois de Halley ter pessoalmente financiado a publicação de Principia, foi mais tarde informado que a sociedade não poderia mais pagar-lhe o salário anual e 50 libras. Em alternativa, Halley foi pago com as cópias restantes de De Historia Piscium. (pt)
