<br/><br/> The Natural History of Aleppo is a 1756 book by naturalist Alexander Russell on the natural history of Aleppo. In 1794 his half-brother, Patrick Russell, revised and expanded the text in a second edition. The book is significant for its quality, the contemporary interest it attracted, and for being a product of the Scottish Enlightenment.<br/>When the book was published it was immediately an important European record and perspective on the state of contemporary science in Syria.<br/>The book contains the earliest known description of the Syrian hamster.
