Talk:Systema Naturae

message: There is a 1907 reproduction of the 1st edition at Kyoto University Library.  There are high res images for chunks of the page, but they also have legible medium size images which are more convenient.  Sadly these images are marked as copyright, and I dont know the laws of Japan very well (yet) to know whether they are allowed to claim copyright over these scans. 
The 1735 edition starts at page 11. --John Vandenberg (chat) 09:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  other editions 

message: Copied from a previous version of the German discussion page, I think it would be useful to have a complete list of all editions of Systema Naturae in the article. The table still needs some revision, contents and language, and could then be copied into the main article. --FranciscoWelterSchultes (talk) 11:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Table: digitized versions

message: The second paragraph of the overview section seems low quality. The first sentence ("At the time of Linnaeus only about 10,000 species of organisms were recognised by science, about 6,000 species of plants and 4,236 species of animals") is confused –  the numbers given there are often seen in the literature as the numbers of species in Systema Naturae, while the sentence (uncited) makes it sound as if it was the general state of knowledge before Linnaeus. The second sentence ("Even in 1753 he believed that the number of species of plants in the whole world would hardly reach 10,000; in his whole career he named about 7,700 species of flowering plants.") is lifted directly from page 8 of the cited source (Stearn 1956, http://www.jstor.org/stable/2411603?seq=5), without quotation marks or anything else to indicate it's a direct quote. 02:35, 10 January 2014‎ 24.207.204.226
:: Thank you. I've changed the paragraph to indicate the quote is from Stearn with the page explicitly recorded. The use of the sentence without such attribution was of course completely wrong, whoever put it there. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:52, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

message: didn't the animal/vegetable/mineral division predate Linne`? I vaguely recall reading about a Greek hypothesis that matter starts out inert (mineral), a subset gains the ability to grow (vegetable), and a further subset gains the ability to sense (animal).

message: I originally planned to include a table with the human varieties and their associated physical, behavioral, and cultural traits to match the other subsections’ organizational style but didn’t want to violate Wikipedia’s plagiarism policies. I recognize that race in this context can be contentious and so did my best to use a neutral voice to present relevant information by, for example, explicitly referencing reputable authors for claims with contemporary implications. I believe this content is crucial for understanding the book as it was written and is received today, so I hope we can collaborate to resolve any concerns you might have. Thanks!
