Old Printed Books of the Scientific Library of the Institute of Botany THE COLLECTION OF OLD PRINTED BOOKS OF THE SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY OF THE INSTITUTE OF BOTANY Nadiia Kryvolchenko Head of Library [email protected] M.G. KHOLODNY INSTITUTE OF BOTANY OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF UKRAINE 2, TERESHCHENKIVSKA ST., 01601, KYIV, UKRAINE OLD PRINTED BOOKS The Collection of old printed books of the Scientific Library contains some valuable copies of works from different fields of botany: lichenology, mycology, systematics of plants, floristics, which illustrates the development of botanical science in the second half of the 16th - first quarter of the 19th century. Among them - the lifetime editions of works by Eric Aharius, Carl Allioni, Johann Albertini, Vilibaldus Besser, Fedor Bieberstein, John G. Gmelin, Albrecht Galler, Krzysztof Kluk, Matthew Lobelius, Carl Linnaeus, Christian Heinrich Persun, Peter Pallas, Joseph Pitton Tournefort and others. L’OBEL, MATTIAS DE (1538–1616) ALLIONI, CARL (1725–1804) The pride of the collection of old books is the work J. Tournefort «Institutiones rei herbariae» 1700, which provides for a classification of plants according to the structure of the flower. He is predecessor of C. Linnaeus, Professor Botanical Garden in Paris. Quite interesting and rare is the work of a contemporary of Carl Linnaeus N. Necker «Methodus muscorum per classes, ordines, genera ac species», 1771. TOURNEFORT, JOSEPH PITTON DE (1656–1708) NECKER, NOEL JOSEPH DE (1729–1793) The collection includes many works devoted to fungi and lichens. In particular, the classic works of H. Person «Icones et descriptiones fungorum minus cogniforum», 1798, «Micologia Europaea», 1822 – 1828, and E. Frieze «Systema mycologicum», 1830. They are the cornerstone of many of the rules for the use of Botanical Nomenclature regarding mushrooms. Useful for lichenologist, at least in historical terms, remain the works by E. Aharius «Methodus qua omnes detectos lichenes», 1803 and «Synopsis methodica lichenum», 1814. PERSOON, CHRISTIAN HENDRIK (1755–1837) FRIES, ELIAS MAGNUS (1794–1878) ACHARIUS, ERIC (1757–1819) Many old printed books devoted to the results of research on the flora of certain areas of the Russian Empire, including Ukraine (of V. Besser, F. Bieberstein, E. Eyhvald, Y.H. Gmelin, J. Yundzill, P. Pallas). In the collection are stored works of other prominent botanists of the past, whose names are called modern botanical and mycological journals, for example, Willdenowia, Hedwigia more. BESSER, WILIBALDUS (1784–1842) BIEBERSTEIN, FRIEDRICH AUGUST (1768–1826) GMELIN, JOHANN GEORG (1709–1755) PALLAS, PETER SIMON (1741–1811) JUNDZIŁŁ, JÓZEF (1794–1877) CARL VON LINNÉ (1707-1778) Research Library of Institute of Botany has almost the most comprehensive collection of works C. Linnaeus in Ukraine. It is represented in the catalog of old printed books by 16 titles. The funds of the Research Library of the Institute of Botany presented lifetime editions of Carl Linnaeus, such as “Flora Lapponica (Amsterdam, 1737), “Flora Zeylanica” (Stockholm, 1747), “Flora svecica” (Stockholm, 1755), “Systema naturae” (Leiden, 1756), “Species Plantarum” (Wien, 1764), “Philosophia botanica” (Wien, 1770), “Natursystem des Mineralreichs…”, Vol. I – VI (Nurnberg, 1773 – 1775). LIFETIME EDITIONS The collection contains works of Carl Linnaeus published after his death. Basically it is a re-release of his lifetime works. In particular, the “Systema plantarum”, P. I – IV (Frankfurt am Main, 1779-1780); “Termini botanici” (Hamburg, 1781); “Systema naturae”, Vol. I – III (Leipzig, 1788-1793); “Genera plantarum”, Vol. I – II (Wien, 1791); “Species plantarum”, Vol. III – IV (Berlin, 1800-1805); “Systema vegetabilium” (Gottingen, 1784; Vol. I-VI, Stuttgart, 1817-1820). The collection of works of Carl Linnaeus includes the dissertations of his disciples which are represented in the publication “Amoenitates academicae...”, Vol. I (Leiden, 1749), Vol. II-VII (Stockholm, 1762-1769). DISSERTATIONS OF DISCIPLES OF CARL LINNAEUS Linné, Carl. Amoenitates academicae... Vol. I – VII. Old printed books from the collection have been published in the printing houses of 40 European cities. These include the editions of the famous Western European publishing firms Plantains, Breytkopf, Janson, Didot; printing house of Valhrizi, J. Zavadskiy, Y.T. Trattner, Schwan, Paris royal printing press, etc. Basic amount of books of collections were printed in Latin and German, some of publications - in French, Polish, Italian and Russian. In the study of old books, much attention was paid to the book marks (ex libris, super ex libris , stamp), which is a unique source for the study of the history of library institutions last. As the evidence of provenance, a collection of old printed books have formed of the books that came from the library of the University of Vilnius , Vilnius Medico -Surgical Academy, Botanical cabinet and Botanical Garden Kiev University of St. Vladimir, private libraries of Hreptovych, Prof. Schmalhausen, Rector of Vilnius University Jan Snyadetsky , Doctor of Medicine Paul Chenpinsky. They provide valuable information about ways to organize a collection of old printed books. PERSPECTIVE Reissue of catalog of old printed books of the Scientific Library; Site of collection of old printed books, which will be presented an image of title pages of books and theirs bibliographic descriptions; Electronic catalog of old printed books.

  • Of Dahlia Myths.Pub
    Cavanilles’ detailed illustrations established the dahlia in the botanical taxonomy In 1796, the third volume of “Icones” introduced two more dahlia species, named D. coccinea and D. rosea. They also were initially thought to be sunflowers and had been brought to Spain as part of the Alejandro Malaspina/Luis Neé expedition. More than 600 drawings brought the plant collection to light. Cavanilles, whose extensive correspondence included many of Europe’s leading botanists, began to develop a following far greater than his title of “sacerdote” (priest, in French Abbé) ever would have offered. The A. J. Cavanilles archives of the present‐day Royal Botanical Garden hold the botanist’s sizable oeu‐ vre, along with moren tha 1,300 letters, many dissertations, studies, and drawings. In time, Cavanilles achieved another goal: in 1801, he was finally appointed professor and director of the garden. Regrettably, he died in Madrid on May 10, 1804. The Cavanillesia, a tree from Central America, was later named for this famousMaterial Spanish scientist. ANDERS DAHL The lives of Dahl and his Spanish ‘godfather’ could not have been any more different. Born March 17,1751, in Varnhem town (Västergötland), this Swedish botanist struggled with health and financial hardship throughout his short life. While attending school in Skara, he and several teenage friends with scientific bent founded the “Swedish Topographic Society of Skara” and sought to catalogue the natural world of their community. With his preacher father’s support, the young Dahl enrolled on April 3, 1770, at Uppsala University in medicine, and he soon became one of Carl Linnaeus’ students.

Marii Magdaleny 14 61-861 Poznań, Poland 2The Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research** Postbox 8119 Dep. 0032 Oslo, Norway *corresponding author: phone: +4861 6687851, e-mail: [email protected] Summary Twinflower (Linnaea borealis L.) is a widespread circumboreal plant species belonging to Linnaeaceae family (previously Caprifoliaceae). L. borealis commonly grows in taiga and tundra. In some countries in Europe, including Poland, twinflower is protected as a glacial relict. Chemical composition of this species is not well known, however in folk medicine of Scandinavian countries, L. borealis has a long tradition as a cure for skin diseases and rheumatism. It is suggested that twinflower has potential medicinal properties. The new study on lead secondary metabolites responsible for biological activity are necessary. This short review summarizes very sparse knowledge on twinflower: its biology, distribution, conservation status, chemical constituents, and describes the role of this plant in folk tradition of Scandinavian countries. Key words: Linnaea borealis, botanical description, distribution, secondary metabolites, folk medicine INTRODUCTION of the Linnaea genus was provided by Christen- husz in 2013 [3]. The genusLinnaea was reviewed Linnaea borealis L. (eng. twinflower; pol. zimoziół and expanded to include the genera: Abelia, Di- północny, Linnea północna; nor. Nårislegras, Flis- pelta, Diabelia, Kolkwitzia and Vesalea. In gen- megras) belongs to Linnaeaceae family, formerly eral, in the new depiction this taxon consist of 16 to Caprifoliaceae [1, 2].

CHRISTENHUSZ Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, United Kingdom; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Linnaea is reviewed and expanded to include the genera Abelia (excluding section Zabelia), Diabelia, Dipelta, Kolkwitzia and Vesalea, making it monophyletic and comprising 16 species. The history of the generic name is discussed. An updated description for the genus Linnaea is provided and new combinations or names for all taxa are provided in Linnaea. Key words: botanical history, genus concepts, inflorescence structure Introduction Linnaea borealis Gronovius ex Linnaeus (1753: 631) was named in honour of Carolus Linnaeus to whom we owe the system of binomial nomenclature. The name was first coined by Dutch botanist Jan Frederik Gronovius (in Linnaeus 1737), because it was Linnaeus’s favourite plant ‘Planta nostra’, which was later adopted by Linnaeus himself in his Species plantarum (1753). It is currently restricted to a single species, which may be considered unfortunate, because it honours such an important botanist. Ricket (1941) wrote that ‘Linnaeus regarded it as his solemn duty to perpetuate the names of great botanists in generic names’, and even though at the time it was argued that there often is no connection between the name and the botanist, ‘there will be such charm in the association that it will never fade from memory’.

The Linnaean Collections Introduction In its creation the Linnaean methodology owes as much to Artedi as to Linneaus himself. So how did this come about? It was in the spring of 1729 when Linnaeus first met Artedi in Uppsala and they remained together for just over seven years. It was during this period that they not only became the closest of friends but also developed what was to become their modus operandi. Artedi was especially interested in natural history, mineralogy and chemistry; Linnaeus on the other hand was far more interested in botany. Thus it was at this point that they decided to split up the natural world between them. Artedi took the fishes, amphibia and reptiles, Linnaeus the plants, insects and birds and, while both agreed to work on the mammals, Linneaus obligingly gave over one plant family – the Umbelliforae – to Artedi “as he wanted to work out a new method of classifying them”.

  • History of Taxonomy
    History of Taxonomy The history of taxonomy dates back to the origin of human language. Western scientific taxonomy started in Greek some hundred years BC and are here divided into prelinnaean and postlinnaean. The most important works are cited and the progress of taxonomy (with the focus on botanical taxonomy) are described up to the era of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who founded modern taxonomy. The development after Linnaeus is characterized by a taxonomy that increasingly have come to reflect the paradigm of evolution. The used characters have extended from morphological to molecular. Nomenclatural rules have developed strongly during the 19th and 20th century, and during the last decade traditional nomenclature has been challenged by advocates of the Phylocode. Mariette Manktelow Dept of Systematic Biology Evolutionary Biology Centre Uppsala University Norbyv. 18D SE-752 36 Uppsala E-mail: [email protected] 1. Pre-Linnaean taxonomy 1.1. Earliest taxonomy Taxonomy is as old as the language skill of mankind. It has always been essential to know the names of edible as well as poisonous plants in order to communicate acquired experiences to other members of the family and the tribe. Since my profession is that of a systematic botanist, I will focus my lecture on botanical taxonomy. A taxonomist should be aware of that apart from scientific taxonomy there is and has always been folk taxonomy, which is of great importance in, for example, ethnobiological studies. When we speak about ancient taxonomy we usually mean the history in the Western world, starting with Romans and Greek. However, the earliest traces are not from the West, but from the East.

ZAPPI1 1Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, Rua Pacheco Leão 915, 22460-030, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, [email protected] Upon examining material of Loganiaceae for the Brazilian state of Pará, available specimens of Spigelia multispica Steud. were reassessed. In the process, this name and one heterotypic variety were confirmed as synonyms of the older name Spi- gelia hamellioides Kunth, which had not previously been reported from Brazil, whereas a new name, Spigelia spruceana Zappi, is proposed for Spigelia multispica var. angustifolia Prog. Durante estudos da família Loganiaceae no Pará, houve a oportunidade de revisar os espécimes atribuídos a Spigelia multi- spica Steud., que foi sinonimizado, juntamente com uma de suas variedades heterotípicas, a um nome mais antigo, Spigelia hamellioides Kunth, que ainda não havia sido referida para o Brasil. No entanto, a outra variedade heterotípica, Spigelia multispica var. angustifolia Prog., foi elevada à categoria de espécie, recebendo um novo nome, Spigelia spruceana Zappi. Key words: Brazilian Flora, Pará, nomenclature, Spigelia hamellioides, Spigelia spruceana, synonymy, taxonom Introduction The present adjustments to the taxonomy and nomenclature of Spigelia Linnaeus (1753: 149) in the Amazonian region were prompted by involvement in a project that investigates the flora that grows on iron-stone in the Serra dos Carajás (Pará, Brazil), for which the account of the Loganiaceae is being prepared.
