Jean Bauhin was the son of a French doctor, a native of Amiens, who had been converted to protestantism by reading the Latin translation of the New Testament prepared by Erasmus.
Bauhin's `Pinax' converted chaos into order, since it contained the first complete and methodical concordance of the names of plants, and was so authoritative as to earn for the author the title of "législateur en botanique." The work, which dealt with about 6000 plants, was recognised as pre-eminent for many years.
It is much to be regretted that the two brothers Bauhin should have carried on their work independently and separately, considering that they had in view practically identical objects—objects in which each only achieved a partial success.

 Natural History: When Fossils Were Young
Contrary to a common impression, Jean Bauhin and his contemporaries did not claim that all fossils must be inorganic in origin and that none could represent the petrified remains of former plants and animals.
Since Bauhin did not properly interpret many of his objects as shells of ancient organisms that had grown bigger during their lifetimes, he drew several specimens with errors that, if accepted as literal representations, would have precluded their organic status.
Bauhin presents several of his ammonites, however, with a final whorl distinctly smaller than preceding volutions from a younger stage of growth.

Accordingly, using a binomial system very similar to modern biological nomenclature, Gaspard Bauhin, a Swiss botanist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, designated plants by a generic and a specific name.
Refining the principles of systematic botanical classification developed by the 16th-century Italian botanist Andrea Cesalpino, Bauhin was first to clearly delineate botanical species and groups of species, or genera, utilizing the concept of natural relationships, or "affinities," as criteria for his classifications.
Bauhin's brother Jean (1541-1613), also a physician and botanist, is known for his Historia plantarum universalis (1650-51; "General History of Plants"), in which he rendered elaborate descriptions of more than 5,000 species.

 Natural History: When Fossils Were Young
When we survey Bauhin's more than 200 fossil drawings, the largest single cache of sixteenth-century paleontological illustrations, we note the origin of several conventions that, although superseded today (and therefore unknown to most modern scientists), seriously impeded, for nearly two centuries, a proper understanding of the nature of fossils and the history of life.
The recognition of Bauhin's illustrations as conventional rather than natural, and their replacement, by the end of the eighteenth century, with "modern" figures that clearly depict fossils as ancient organisms, virtually defines the primary shift in understanding that led to our greatest gain in knowledge during the early history of paleontology.
In Bauhin's day, the word "fossil"--derived from the past participle of the Latin verb fodere, meaning "to dig up"--referred to any object of distinctive form found within the Earth, thus placing the remains of ancient organisms in the same general category as crystals, stalactites, and a wide range of other inorganic objects.

The work is useful and important as Bauhin has got together the different names of paeonies given by previous authors and put them together in proper order under the different species.

Bauhin discarded the alphabetical and other arbitrary systems used by earlier writers, insisting that any useful method of classification must be based on natural affinities.
He grouped plants according to their genera, then, drawing from his own observations and the works of earlier authors, gave each species within a genus a descriptive name.

Higher taxa were constructed and arranged in a simple and orderly manner.
Although the system now known as binomial nomenclature was developed by the Bauhin brothers (see Gaspard Bauhin and Johann Bauhin) almost 200 years earlier, Linnaeus may be said to have popularized it within the scientific community.
Linnaeus named taxa in ways that personally struck him as common-sensical; for example, human beings are Homo sapiens (see sapience), but he also described a second human species, Homo troglodytes ("cave-dwelling man", by which he meant the chimpanzee currently most often placed in a different genus as Pan troglodytes).

Medication-induced lesions of the mucosa of the terminal ileum, Bauhin's valve and the colon are usually caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) [3].
Our case indicates that oral iron therapy given to treat anemia caused by bleeding can produce similar lesions, not only in the stomach and small intestine [4,5], but also in the lower digestive tract.

"Bauhin's greatest contribution to anatomy was the reform he introduced into the nomenclature, particularly into that of muscles.
Because it is very easy to make mistakes in the enumeration of muscles if they are merely called first, second, etc.; and because different anatomists had named different muscles in this way, not agreeing on the order of the enumeration, Bauhin decided that it was better to use another kind of terminology.
He therefore named some muscles according to their substance (semimembranosus), others according to their shape (deltoid, scalene), some according to their origin (arytenoideus), and others according to their origin and insertion (styloglossus, crycothyroidus).
