Rondelet, in his turn, put on the red robe of the bachelor, and received, on taking his degree, his due share of fisticuffs from his dearest friends, according to the ancient custom of the University of Montpellier.
She carried Rondelet off from the students who were seeing him safe out of the city, brought him back, settled on him the same day half her fortune, and soon after settled on him the whole, on the sole condition that she should live with him and her sister.
Rondelet was in the middle of this crisis a man of transition, while he was one of progress.

 The Thresher Online: Rondelet expenses exceed income; carryover funds used to cover loss (April 7, 1995)
Rondelet's expenses exceeded ticket sales again this year, but the organizers did not have to use emergency funds for the first time in years, thanks to $5,000 in funds left over from last year.
Rondelet, held on March 25 at the Westin Oaks Galleria Hotel, cost an estimated $13,000 and made less than that amount from ticket sales.
This year, for the first time, Rondelet was appropriated a $5,000 budget from RPC general funds left over from the 1993-1994 school year.

 Guillaume Rondelet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guillaume Rondelet (1507-1566) was professor of medicine at the university of Montpellier in southern France.
Famed as a teacher, Rondelet was also the author of a book on the natural history of fishes.
He may have been the model for Dr. Rondibilis in the Tiers livre of François Rabelais.

The descriptions are equal to those given by Belon, entering much into the details of the economy and uses of the several species, and were evidently composed with the view of collecting in a readable form all that might prove of interest to the class of society in which the author moved.
For nearly a century the works of Belon and Rondelet continued to be the standard works on ichthyology; but the science did not remain stationary during that period.
The attention of naturalists was now directed to the fauna of foreign countries, especially of the Spanish and Dutch possessions in the New World; and in Europe the establishment of anatomical schools and academies led to careful investigation of the internal anatomy of the most remarkable European forms.

Her husband, Guillaume Rondelet, a sixteenth-century French physician and the author of an early illustrated book on marine life, is regarded by many as the father of modern ichthyology.
For her part, Mme Rondelet might well deserve to be called the mother of modern fish keeping; as her story has come down to us, she managed to keep a fish alive in a glass of water for three years.
But Mme Rondelet, who would never have guessed that fishes might someday be endangered, could never have known that she might be taking the first step toward saving fishes when she kept one of them in a jar.

Rabelais seems to have liked Rondelet, and no wonder: he was a cheery, lovable, honest little fellow, very fond of jokes, a great musician and player on the violin, and who, when he grew rich, liked nothing so well as to bring into his house any buffoon or strolling-player to make fun for him.
all died young--and over Rondelet himself, who, immersed in books and experiments, was utterly careless about money; and was to them all a mother--advising, guiding, managing, and regarded by Rondelet with genuine gratitude as his guardian angel.
The Benedictine monk of St. Maur, who writes the history of Languedoc, says, quite _en passant_, how someone 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.

Around Rondelet, in those years, sometimes indeed in his house--for professors in those days took private pupils as lodgers--worked the group of botanists whom Linnaeus calls "the Fathers," the authors of the descriptive botany of the sixteenth century.
{7} A Life of Rondelet, by his pupil Laurent Joubert, is to be found appended to his works; and with an account of his illness and death, by his cousin, Claude Formy, which is well worth the perusal of any man, wise or foolish.
Many interesting details beside, I owe to the courtesy of Professor Planchon, of Montpellier, author of a discourse on "Rondelet et vies Disciples," which appeared, with a learned and curious Appendix, in the "Montpellier Medical" for 1866.

 Opificio Ciclope
In the 16th century, two naturalists, Rondelet and Pierre Belon, produced descriptions of animals they termed the Sea Monk, or monk-fish.
Centuries later, a very talented naturalist, Japetus Steenstrup, gave a presentation in which he compared Rondelet's illustration (on the left) and Belon's illustration (on the right) to the likeness of a squid captured in 1853.
Rondelet accenna per la prima volta anche al pesce-vescovo, la cui esistenza era ritenuta certa dai marinai del secolo scorso: "Nel Mar Baltico, lungo le coste della Polonia, fu preso nel 1433 un uomo marino che aveva l'aspetto di un vescovo, con tanto di pastorale e tutti gli altri ornamenti...

 Review of the great white shark   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
They were not uncommonly caught between Sète and Nice in medieaval centuries, and specimens were of as much interest to the writers of the time as they are today.
In 1566, the Montpellier-based naturalist Guillaume Rondelet noted the voracious appetite of the Lamia ; a diet which, he commented, included tuna and even the odd human - and suggested it was this animal, rather than a whale, that was responsible for swallowing the prophet Jonah in the famous biblical fable.
The white shark was then - as it is now - a little-known, rarely seen but greatly feared animal of mythical status, whose apparent penchant for consuming humans (in a mystical sense!) was well-known amongst the region's seafarers.

 Index_Intro
The earliest published accounts describing aspects of the natural history of octocorals including the sea pens are Pliny the Elder (1469), Guillaume Rondelet (1554-1555), Conrad Gesner (1555 and 1558), Ferrante Imperato (1599), and Captain Lancaster (1601).
Louis Agassiz (1860) praised the perspicacity of early workers such as Rondelet and Gesner, who first established the animal nature of the "acalephs" (many of the taxa that we now regard as coelenterates), departing from the earlier views of Aristotle and Pliny, who compared them to plants (the "zoöphytes").
Pertaining to Rondelet, Agassiz (1860: 8) states, "...we are chiefly indebted to Rondelet for contributions to the natural history of the Acalephs.
