	Rafinesque at Transylvania Again
		Rafinesque died of stomach and liver cancer according to a detailed autopsy performed on 19 September 1840, the day after he died.
		The destruction of Rafinesque's natural history collection, even in its deteriorated condition, was one of the great tragedies in systematic biology.
		Rafinesque named more than 6,500 new species of plants over his lifetime, and without the whole of his herbarium it is often difficult to know exactly what he had before him when he named his plants.

		Rafinesque had long lived in what can only be described as "wretched poverty." He was buried as a pauper only to have his body removed and taken back to Transylvania University where it rests in honor today marked by an epitaph taken from his 1838 autobiography, A life of travel.
		Rafinesque was born in Galata near Constantinople, to Francois and Madeleine Schmaltz Rafinesque.

	The Walam Olum of Constantine Rafinesque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Constantine S. Rafinesque (1773-1840) was a naturalist who emigrated to America from Europe in 1815.
		Rafinesque may also have been inspired by Joseph Smith's then recent translation of the Mormon Bible from golden tablets inscribed with ancient Egyptian which he claimed to have found in upstate New York.
		Rafinesque had publicly denounced the Mormon Bible as a hoax, but viewing its success, he may either have decided to attempt something similar himself, or he may have been trying to cast doubt on the Mormon assertion that Native Americans had descended from Hebrew tribes.

	Constantine Samuel Rafinesque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rafinesque was born in Galata, a suburb of Constantinople, of a French father and mother of German descent.
		Hence, he never developed a theory of evolution earlier than Darwin, as sometimes has been claimed, because Rafinesque had no inkling of natural selection and his understanding of geological time was far too shallow.
		Rafinesque’s Mesoamerican studies had to be centered on the linguistic data he could extract from printed sources, mostly those of travelers.

		It was not until the twentieth century that Rafinesque stepped out of the margins of natural science.
		As attempts were made, to understand exactly what Rafinesque had accomplished in natural science, and to rehabilitate his scientific reputation, his A Life of Travels became the focus of attention for revisionists.
		A few years ago, the original French manuscript was discovered, making further research of the authentic C.S. Rafinesque possible.The French manuscript has now been edited with extensive notes drawing attention to variants between the two versions citing additional biographical information, which is widely scattered and expanding allusions in the text.

		Rafinesque was born in Galata, a suburb of Constantinople.
		In 1924 his remains (or what was thought to have been his remains) were brought back to Transylvania University to rest in a place of honor, in a tomb marked by the epitaph 'A life of travels'.
		Rafinesque himself had proposed this name twice, but was each time turned down.

		Professor Constantine S. Rafinesque is remembered for his many contributions to scientific knowledge (in Botany, in comprehending the Mayan numerical system, etc.) as well as for his numerous, less than professional, self-advancements and half-baked anthropological speculations.
		Rafinesque openly denounced the Book of Mormon as being a fraudulent history, but he could not ignore the phenomenal growth and widespread publicity the Mormon Church enjoyed between 1830 and 1836.
		Rafinesque's fabricated Indian history may contain a certain amount of truth -- but his Lenape pictographs and Delaware Indian written "texts" are more "the things dreams are made of" than what has been confirmed by dry and boring scientific investigation.

		Constantine S. Rafinesque (1783-1840) stands as one of the most troublesome and quixotic figures in American science during the early national period.
		At 19, Rafinesque moved to Philadelphia and was introduced into that vibrant botanical community, though only a few years later he returned to Europe to carry on a business in medicinal plants.
		Remarkably prolific, Rafinesque's natural historical work became the target of criticism from fellow scientists for his tendency to be too quick to erect new species and too slow to acknowledge the work of others.

		In his choice of the name Gopherus, which means "burrowing" (cf., the burrowing mammal, gopher), Rafinesque echoes Daudin's reference to Polyphemus, the legendary burrower.
		The reason is that in prefatory material, Rafinesque, referring to his book, Analyse de la nature, Palermo, 1815, writes that he had (in 1815) "proposed to divide the Turtles" into 15 genera, the third of which, in a list, he named Gopherus.

		Despite mixed reviews from contemporaries, modern analysts readily admit its importance, an opinion which is strengthened by renewed interest in potential phytomedicines from plants known medicinally before the advent of synthetic drugs.
		His multidisciplinary views inform the work, drawn from "fifteen years of botanical and medical observations and researches, and 8,000 miles of botanical travels, wherein he diligently enquired and elicited from the learned and the illiterate, the result of their practical experience." Rafinesque's interest in Native American medicinal plants was particularly notable for his day.

He concludes that many of the plants in Rafinesque's work are viable candidates for study, and points out that, since more than 80% are indigenous North American plants, they may be especially interesting to U.S. investigators.
