Hello again, near the bottom of my message was a line with the writer's name
and title which is unclear without the full line with his name. To
clarify it, please insert the first line below, the next paragraphs explain
the name:
((Herr Archiaterns och Riddaren D. Carl von Linne))
This is his name and title. Archiater is some kind of medical title.
Linnaeus was professor of medicine at the University of Uppsala
although he is best known for his contributions to systematic botany
and zoology.
Riddaren = the nobleman
D. = Doctor (?)
Linnaeus was born Carolus Linnaeus but wrote his name as above
after being knighted.
