Biographical Material on S teller 



Stoller, Augustin. [Life of Steller.] Ergotzungen der VerniinfUgen Seele 

 aiis der Sitlenlehre iind der Gelehrsamkeit Uberhaupt, Vol. 5, No. i, 

 Leipzig, 1747 or 1748. [This biographical sketch by Steller's brother 

 (the name was originally spelled Stoller) is reliable for the period to 

 Steller's departure for Russia but not for his subsequent activities, 

 partly because it was written before authentic news of Steller's last 

 movements had reached Germany. This sketch was reprinted or 

 copied in contemporary German newspapers and periodicals, thus in 

 the Hamhurgische Correspondent, Nos. 199-202, the Frankfurtische 

 Zeitung, and the Beytrage zur Historie der Gelahrtheit (see below).]

Leben Herrn Georg Wilhelm Stellers, gewesnen Adjuncti der Kayserl. 

 Academie der Wissenschaften zu St. Petersburg, worin die bisher be- 

 kanntgemachten Nachrichten von dessen Reisen, Entdeckungen und 

 Tode theils widerlegt, theils ergantzt und verbessert werden. Frank- 

 fort, 1748. 38 pp. [Although the authorship of this book is attributed 

 to Johann Georg Gmelin by contemporary and other sources, there is 

 at least grave doubt as to this from internal evidence, according to a 

 note in Otto Gmelin, edit.: Johann Georg Gmelin, Munich, 191 1, p. 

 145. Copies are rare: there is one in the Prussian State (formerly 

 Royal) Library in Berlin and one in the Kiel University library. There 

 is a Russian translation in the library of the St. Petersburg Academy 

 of Sciences (Pekarskii, Istoriya Akademii Nauk, Vol. i, p. 587), Manu- 

 script Division, under the archival designation No. 17.8.8.] 



Gmelin, Johann Georg. [Two passages dealing with Steller in his] 

 "Flora sibirica," 4 vols., St. Petersburg, 1747-69, and "Reise durch 

 Sibirien," 4 vols, in two, Gottingen, 1751-52. [Both passages easily 

 accessible in Otto Gmelin, edit.: Johann Georg Gmelin, Munich, 191 1, 

 pp. 68-71 and 114-117 respectively.]
