GOÜAN, A. Illustrationes et Observationes Botanicae, ad specierum historiam facientes seu rariorum plantarum indigenarum, pyrenaicarum, exoticarum adumbrationes, synonymorum ... Cum iconibus ex naturae typo et magnitudine naturali ab auctore delineatis. Tiguri, Orell, Gessner, Fuesslin & Socios, 1773. Folio. pp. (8), 83, (1), with 28 engraved plates. Stafleu
& Cowan 2102; Nissen BBI, 741. A very attractively produced
work, printed in Zürich, with excellent plates drawn by the
author. "Antoine Gouan (1733-1821) became the doyen of the
Linnaean taxonomy in France. He was the first to introduce binary
nomenclature in the country and to publish a flora which was
almost fully Linnaean. ... Gouan lived to the age of 88, but his
published output diminished gradually after his 'Illustrationes
et observationes botanicae' of 1773. His Montpellier school of
taxonomists, however, produced several of the most important
French Linnaeans" (Stafleu. Linnaeus and the Linnaeans pp.
269-271). The plates figure mostly plants of the Pyrenees. The
work was published in Zürich, as Albrecht von Haller
subsidized the publication. |
