  Gaspard Bauhin - LoveToKnow 1911
GASPARD BAUHIN (1560-1624), Swiss botanist and anatomist, was the son of a French physician, Jean Bauhin (1511-1582), who had to leave his native country on becoming a convert to Protestantism.
He was born at Basel on the 17th of January 1560, and devoting himself to medicine, he pursued his studies at Padua, Montpellier, and some of the celebrated schools in Germany.
His son, JEAN GASPARD BAUHIN (1606-1685), was professor of botany at Basel for thirty years.

 Herbal In Switzerland
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.
Jean Bauhin's more famous brother, Gaspard [or Caspar] (Plate XI), was born in 156o, and was thus the younger by nineteen years.
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.

 Herbal In France
A well-known name among the earlier French writers is that of Jean Ruel, or Joannes Ruellius, as he is commonly called (1474-1537).
From the preface one would gather that Johannes Molindus (or Desmoulins) was the chief author.
However, judging by the way in which the book was quoted by contemporary writers, there appears to be little doubt that d'Aléchamps was really responsible for it, though assisted at different times by Jean Bauhin and Desmoulins.

Perhaps most puzzling of all, many fossils did something no short-lived flood could make them do: they resided deep inside mountains of rock.
In his 1598 treatise on German fossils, Jean Bauhin grouped shells and crystals together based on their overall shape.
Given these circumstances, growth of fossils inside rocks made more sense to some people, but not to Steno.

Centuries ago, fossils were identified as anything dug up from the ground, and savants frequently lumped items of organic and inorganic origins together.
Here, Bauhin depicted a snail shell and a crystal together because they had the same general shape.
Savants often looked for objects resembling body parts, hoping those "fossils" could cure the ailing organs.

The Benedictine monk of St. Maur, who writes the history of Languedoc, says, quite en passant, how some one was burnt at Toulouse in 1553, luckily only in effigy, for he had escaped to Geneva: but he adds, “next year they burned several heretics,” it being not worth while to mention their names.
In 1556 they burned alive at Toulouse Jean Escalle, a poor Franciscan monk, who had found his order intolerable; while one Pierre de Lavaur, who dared preach Calvinism in the streets of Nismes, was hanged and burnt.
The Huguenots, guessing how that would end, resolved to settle the question for themselves.
