Gunno Dahlstierna, var en svensk lantmätare och skald, adlad 1702 (före adlandet hette han Eurelius). Han var son till kontraktsprosten Andreas Eurenius och Margareta Bluthera.
Dahlstierna blev student i Uppsala 1677 och inspirerades av Olof Rudbeck att från 1681 engagera såsom lantmätare i Livland, med särskilt uppdrag att kartlägga detta landskaps område och gränser, och begav sig 1685 till Tyskland, där han studerade vid flera universitet, bland annat i Leipzig, där han (1687) försvarade en avhandling, De electro, på sådant sätt, att en professur erbjöds honom. Han återvände det oaktat till Sverige, där han 1690 utnämndes till lantmäteriinspektör. Från 1691 var hans verksamhet förlagd till Pommern, även sedan han 1699 utnämnts till direktör för svenska lantmäteriet. Genom hans försorg fick Pommern ordentliga och tydliga kartor.
Som skald ägnade han sig åt patriotisk diktning, inspirerad från tyska och italienska förebilder. Han skildrar gärna sin hembygd i Dalsland och då med idylliska förtecken i b...

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.
