Auszug: Carl von Linné (vor der Erhebung in den Adelsstand Carl Nilsson Linnæus; 23. Mai 1707 in Råshult bei Älmhult; 10. Januar 1778 in Uppsala) war ein schwedischer Naturwissenschaftler, der mit der binominalen Nomenklatur die Grundlagen der modernen botanischen und zoologischen Taxonomie schuf. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet . In der Zoologie werden , und als Autorennamen verwendet. Linné setzte sich als Student in seinem Manuskript Praeludia Sponsaliorum Plantarum mit der noch neuen Idee von der Sexualität der Pflanzen auseinander und legte mit diesen Überlegungen den Grundstein für sein späteres Wirken. Während seines Aufenthaltes in Holland entwickelte er in Schriften wie Systema Naturae, Fundamenta Botanica, Critica Botanica und Genera Plantarum die theoretischen Grundlagen seines Schaffens. Während seiner Tätigkeit für George Clifford in Hartekamp konnte Linné zum ersten Mal viele seltene Pflanzen direkt studieren, und schuf mit Hortus Cliffortianus das erste nach seinen Prinzipien geordnete Pflanzenverzeichnis. Nach der Rückkehr aus dem Ausland arbeitete Linné für kurze Zeit als Arzt in Stockholm. Er gehörte hier zu den Gründern der Schwedischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und war deren erster Präsident. Mehrere Expeditionen führten ihn durch die Provinzen seiner schwedischen Heimat und trugen zu seiner Anerkennung bei. Ende 1741 wurde Linné Professor an der Universität Uppsala und neun Jahre später deren Rektor. In Uppsala führte er seine enzyklopädischen Anstrengungen, alle bekannten Mineralien, Pflanzen und Tiere zu beschreiben und zu ordnen, weiter. Seine beiden Werke Species Plantarum (1753) und Systema Naturæ (in der zehnten Auflage von 1758) begründeten die bis heute verwendete historische wissenschaftliche Nomenklatur in der Botanik und der Zoologie. Die Umgebung um Linnés Geburtshaus in Råshult wurde wieder so hergestellt, wie er sie in seiner Kindheit erlebte.Carl Linnæus wurde am 23. Mai 1707 in der ersten Stunde nach Mit.

Book-label of Tixall Library, and the armorial bookplate of Henry Rogers Broughton, 2nd Baron Fairhaven, to the front paste-down. Carl Linné (von Linné from his ennoblement in 1761; Latinized Carolus Linnæus, 1707-1778) was the ultimate taxonomist, the father of modern natural science, princeps botanicorum (prince of botanists). Against a national patchwork of descriptions of living things -- often but not always in Latin, and usually in full sentences describing the qualities of the creature -- Linnaeus perfected the system of binomial nomenclature. With two Latin words, scientists could communicate internationally and be assured that they were referring to the same creature; this allowed the collaboration and rapid development that made the XVIIIc the greatest in the development of biological knowledge. The present work is Linnaeus's first published account of plants from around the world, demonstrating that they all could be described using the system he laid out in his twelve-page Systema naturæ (1735). The work is based on the botanical holdings of George Clifford III (1685-1760), an Anglo-Dutch banker who had risen to a directorship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). His summer estate at Hartekamp benefitted from his global connections, and his gardens came to include four hothouses to cultivate his exotic specimens -- per the title, both living and dried -- including the first banana tree grown indoors. Clifford brought on the young naturalist to apply the binomial system to his holdings. The work is important (the Hunt catalogue calls it "the central volume in botanical literature") not only for being the first widespread application of the system to plants but also for being so richly illustrated with engravings by Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759), including a richly allegorical frontispiece: Apollo (with, it is said, the face of Linnaeus) casting off the veil of ignorance from Mother Earth. Twenty of the thirty-six engravings are after the greatest of all XVIIIc botanical illustrators: Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). W.T. Stearn, the great XXc botanist, claims that the Hortus Cliffortianus "marks the beginning of a new era in botanical illustration and foreshadows the golden century of great flower-book production which extended from about 1760-1860" (apud Hunt). The label of the library at Tixall in Staffordshire points to the Hon. Thomas Clifford (1732-1787) and by descent to Sir Frederick Augustus Talbot Constable, 3rd Baronet of Constable Burton, in whose sale at Sotheby's London the present item was offered on 6 November 1899. Henry Rogers Broughton (1900-1973) amassed one of the great collections of natural history books and art. The present volume was bought from the first part of his sale (Sotheby's London, 18 May 2022, lot 139).
