Das System der Natur
Linnaeus' restless system
In this essay, translations of Linnaeus' Systema naturae into various European languages will be placed into the context of successively expanded editions of Linnaeus' writings.

By recruiting more users, translations made a significant con…

This, in turn, had a crucial impact on the genesis and form of botanical publications: the more comprehensive the project, the la…

The concept of a homogeneous, quasi-mo…

By tracing the circulation of shells in eighteenth-century France, Paris in p…
