	Conrad Gessner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conrad Gessner (Konrad Gessner, Conrad von Gesner, Conradus Gesnerus) (26 March 1516-13 December 1565) was a Swiss naturalist.
		To non-scientific readers, Gessner is best known for his love of mountains (below the snow-line) and for his many excursions among them, undertaken partly as a botanist, but also for the sake of exercise and enjoyment of the beauties of nature.
		Gessner was featured on the 50 Swiss francs banknotes issued 1978-1994.

	Research Library - The Author, Conrad Gessner
		Gessner is remembered as one of the five giants of zoology of the 16th century, the others being Pierre Belon, Guillaume Rondolet, Ulisse Aldrovandi and Hippolyte Salviani.
		Gessner's importance to science stems largely from the fact that his monumental zoological publications were the first comprehensive works on the animal world since Aristotle, some 1800 years previously.
		Gessner died in Zurich, of the plague, in 1565 at the age of 49.

		Gessner (1516-1565), in his Historia Animalium, attempted to bring together all that was known about the animal kingdom in his day.
		During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Gessner was the chief authority on all vertebrate animals.
		In his preface to the readers of Liber IIII he makes the general statement that very few illustrations are not realistic; with the exception of the fabulous Equus neptuni from Belon’s work, and a number of illustrations taken by Olaus Magnus (1555) (Gmelig-Nijboer, 1977).

		In his introduction, Gessner indicates that he considers this only as an outline for a much larger and comprehensive work on fossils which he hoped to compile and publish after the completion of his botanical encyclopedia on which he was then working.

		In view of this unfamiliarity it is not surprising that it was the same Conrad Gessner who sixteen years later publicly issued the first theological condemnation of his countryman, when he wrote in a letter in 1561: 'I am entirely convinced that Paracelsus was a follower of Arius'.
		Gessner's opinion of Paracelsus was shared by Johannes Crato von Crafftheim, to whom the letter had been addressed.
		Thus Milt's claims, according to which Gessner in his latter years was to have interested himself for no other person so much as for Paracelsus, prove to be very exaggerated, cf.

		It is not much known that Caspar Wolf (1532-1601), a student of the great Swiss polyhistorian and nature scientist Conrad Gessner (1516-1565) and his successor as Zurich's municipal physician, published the very first monography on scorpions in 1587 as supplement to the posthumous 5th volume of Gessner's Historia Animalium on snakes.
		This remarkable essay in Latin on the life history of scorpions contains all the noteworthy references that Gessner had compiled during his entire life from scientific literature and ancient documents.
		It is still one of the major publication projects of ARACHNODATA since 1992 to edit a new version and translation of this first Renaissance scorpion monography that summarizes the knowledges on the biology, ecology, zoogeography, medicine and culture on scorpions of nearly 2'000 years from Aristotle to Conrad Gessner.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Palaeontology
		In the Middle Ages little attention was paid to fossils, which were generally regarded as products of a creative force of the earth (vis plastica, or virtus formativa), though a few men like Albertus Magnus, and later Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) held correct views on the subject.
		In the sixteenth century the first engravings of fossils were published by the Swiss physician Conrad Gessner.
		It was not until a century later, however, that a few scholars, particularly the Englishmen, Robert Hooke, John Ray, and John Woodward, vigorously maintained the organic origin of fossils.
