Johann Sperling

Title page of the 2nd ed., 1669
Title page of the 2nd ed., 1669
  • ... that Johann Sperling from the University of Wittenberg wrote the first scientific handbook about animals, Zoologia physica (title page pictured)? Source: Heß (ADB) "Das Werk ist für die Studirenden geschrieben und ist das erste Handbuch, welches in compendiöser Weise das Wissenswürdigste aus der Zoologie übersichtlich darzustellen sucht." (The work was written for the students and is the first handbook which tries to demonstrate clearly the most imortant facts from zoology in a compendious way.)

  • Symbol question.svg age, size ok, copyvio clear, written neutrally - my issue is the hook as I suspect some would argue there were Roman books dealing with categorising plants and animals (e.g. Pliny). It'd be safer to stick to first use of the term "zoology"....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:30, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Can you word that, please, because to my understanding he didn't use zoology, he said Latin zoologia? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:13, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Aber mein Deutsch ist schrecklich...and I am not sure of the nuance of the source in German. Clearly it's slightly lost somehow. Are there some other secondary sources that discuss this book? Cas Liber (talk · contribs)
