NOTES: “First edition of the foundation
of modern ichthyology. ‘This taxonomically most important work assured
Artedi the honor of being the father of the science of ichthyology’
(DSB) Petrus Artedi was a Swedish physician who died at the early
age of 30. He was entrusted by Seba to write the third part of his Thesaurus
dealing with fishes and one evening after meeting with Seba and some
friends he lost his way in the darkness and was drowned in one of the
Amsterdam canals. The work was published by his friend Linnaeus, who added
a biography of Artedi. ‘It contains an analytical review of the literature
and a philosophical dissertation on a natural classification, proving
that he and Linnaeus agreed on the principles that were to govern the
new systematics... Artedi was the first to settle definitely the notion
of genus in zoology; the distinction between species and variety; and
the classification into classes, orders, and maniples (families)’
(ibid.). In the second part of the work Artedi presents his famous system
of classification which was adopted by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae.
The book was issued in five parts: I. Bibliotheca Ichthyologia,
a critical bibliography of books on fishes; II. Philosophia Ichthyolgia;
III. Genera Piscium; IV. Species piscium; V. Synonima
piscium. Artedi was a student friend of Linnaeus and together the
two developed their ideas about taxonomy. They agreed to divide the kingdom
of nature between them, Artedi studying fishes, amphibians, mammals, minerals,
and , in botany, the Umbelliferae (Linaeus’ classification
of the Umbelliferae in the Systema naturae is taken entirely
from Artedi).” — William Patrick Watson, Catalogue 12: Science
