THERSNER, THORA JOHANNA ULRIKA.
I bredd med våra författarinnor, men på en annan väg producerande, utmärker sig demoiselle Thersner. Ett allmänt kändt och värderadt arbete, 'Svecia Antiqva et Hodierna', utgafs i förra århundradet af grefve Dahlberg, ett dyrbart arbete, som näppeligen i vår tid skulle kunna utgifvas i koppartryck, ehuru det blifvit fortsatt lithografiskt. Det var, redan i början af innevarande århundrade, i det afseendet föråldradt, att efter lång mellankommen tid de teckningar, arbetet gifvit, icke mera svarade mot det nuvarande utseendet, äfvensom en mängd andra märkvärdiga ställen funnos, de der icke i Dahlbergs arbete voro intagna. Konung Carl XIII ansåg att ett nytt arbete, i planen likt det gamla, borde utgifvas, och uppmanade dertill kaptenen (sedermera öfverstelöjtnanten) Ulrik Thersner, som inom geniekorpsen gjort sig känd såsom tecknare. Man anser sig icke behöfva förbigå det denne man väl också gjort sig för öfrigt utmärkt. Såsom kommenderad att vid ingenjörsarbetena biträda general Boje under belägringen för den ...

Geografia di M. Livio Sanuto distinta in XII libri. Venice: Damiano Zenaro, 1588.
The first printed atlas of Africa. Sannuto’s Geographia was intended as a compendium of world geography, but the project was curtailed by his death. Only the first part, devoted to Africa, was ever published, and that posthumously. Skelton describes the Geographia as a “methodical and precisely documented description of the geography of Africa” and notes the “critical sense” exercised in the compilation of the maps, engraved by Sanuto’s brother Giulio.
It is unfortunate that the work was left incomplete, as Skelton suggests it would have been “among the masterpieces of Renaissance geography”; the fact it was incomplete may help explain its rarity on the market today.

DODOENS, REMBERT. [DODONAEUS, REMBERTUS] [DODONAEI, REMBERTI]
Biografiska uppgifter:Mechelen June 29, 1517 – Leyden March 10, 1585
Rembert Dodoens was a Flemish physician and botanist, also known under his Latinized name Rembertus Dodonaeus.
In 1530 he started his studies of medicine, cosmography and geography at the University of Louvain, where he graduated in 1535. He established himself as a physician in Mechelen in 1538. He married Kathelijne De Bruyn(e) in 1539. He had a short stay in Basel (1542-1546). He turned down a chair at the University of Louvain in 1557. He equally turned down an offer to become court physician of emperor Philip II of Spain. He became the court physician of the Austrian emperor Rudolph II in Vienna (1575-1578). He then became professor in medicine at the University of Leiden in 1582.
Dodoens' herbal Cruydeboeck with 715 images (1554) was influenced by that of Leonhart Fuchs. He divided the plant kingdom in six groups. It treated in detail especially the medicinal herbs, which made this work, in the eyes of many, a pharmacopoeia.
It was translated first into French in 1557 by Charles de L'Ecluse ('Histoire des Plantes') and later into Latin in 1583. In his times, it was the most translated book after the Bible. It became a work of worldwide renown, used as a reference book for two centuries.
Dodoens's last book, Stirpium historiae pemptades sex (1583) was the Latin translation of his Cruydeboeck. It was used as a source by John Gerard for his Herball.
Dodoens is commemorated in the plant genus Dodonaea, which was named after him by Carolus Linnaeus.
