says that Iguana is t. 4, but in the edition examined the illustration in t. VIII, f. 4. Linnaeus did not 
mention Jacobaeus' Chamaeleon but note that text p. 9 says Chamaeleon is VIII fig. 4, but the 
plate and text do not correspond. Linnaeus's own copy, which I personally examined, shows the 
date as 1698, but someone has encircled the last two T's of the Roman numeral date. I do not 
know the basis for the date change, but the note of submission from Jacobaeo is dated 13 May 
1695. Presumably some librarian determined that it took but one year from submission of 
manuscript to publication and detected an error in printing the date.

#L. Act. Stockholm. This refers to a Linnaeus dissertation in a Swedish journal that is listed in 
various ways, the more typical being Kungliga Svenska Vetenskapsacademien Handlingar, 
Kongliga Swenska Vetenskapsacademien. and Swenska Wetenskaps Academiens Handlingar, 
etc. An actual cover of the journal shows Kongl. Svenska Vetenskaps Acaademiens Handlingar. 
The printer was Lars Salvius , who did Systema Naturae X. The Union List of Serials states that 
through 1756 this was Swenska Wetenskaps Academi, but the cover pages I have seen show 
clearly Svenska Vetenskaps Academien (two words, notVetenskapsacademien)on separate 
lines. In answer to my query to the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, Christer Wijkstrdm, the 
librarian of the Center for Science and History confirmed that it had many minor title variations in 
early years but recommended that for the first 50 volumes the most common way to cite is Kongl. 
Swenska Wetenskaps Academiens Handlingar.

#Matth. dlosc. Matthioli, Petri Andreae (Mattioli, Matthaeolus, Matthiolus). This refers to 
Matthioli's commentary on the old Greek herbal of Dioscorides. The earliest edition apparently was 
1554. Commentarii in Libros Sex Pedacii Discoridis ...[with the Latin text of Dioscorides by J. 
Ruellis]. Venetiis.Vinc Valgris. Many versions of Matthioli's commentary were published, but 
Linnaeus was known to own a 1570 edition (fide J.L. Heller 1976. Linnaeus on sumptuous 
books. Taxon 25:33-52.). Dioscorides of Anazarba in Cilicia , in the first century A.D., wrote the 
original herbal. An English translation published by Hafner Publishing Co., Inc., New York says 
that the original herbal was five books. The Hafner edition has an index from Saracen's Latin Index 
from a 1598 edition of the herbal (Saracenus, Janus Antonio [Sarrasin, Jean Antoine] Pedacii 
Dioscorides Anazarbaei. Francofurti, A. Wecheli et. al.). The version that I saw indicated that the 
herbal was illustrated by a Bryzantine in A.D. 512, was translated into English by John Goodyer 
A.D. 1655, edited and first printed by R.T. Gunther. Linnaeus referred to Lacerta salamandra as 
page 274, figure on 274 in the dioscus. The Saracen index refers to book 2, 67. In the Hafner 
edition, item 67 of book 2 shows Salamandra terrestris. Item 69 is Saura, which is lizards.
