Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae (2nd edition), in his list of “Paradoxa” (= animals which he rejected as in his opinion non-existent) included the “Siren”, including a reference “Art. gen. 81 Syrene Bartol’”. Please what is that old book? What is/was Bartol’s full name?

Also, in that Wikipedia page, please check my translation of the entry for the Phoenix. The Latin version is at https://books.google.ca/books?id=oXsZAAAAYAAJ&q=manticora#v=snippet&q=manticora&f=false, where click on “Page 66” (where, please who was Kæmpf?).

Hi Anthony Appleyard,

“Bartol”: maybe Bartolomeo Ambrosini who published Aldrovandi’s Serpentum, et draconum historiae libri duo and Monstrorum historia, as well as his own Paralipomena accuratissima historiae omnium animalium.

“Kaempf.”: Engelbert Kaempfer.

In that Wikipedia page, please feel free to correct the translations from Linnaeus’s Latin to English, if you know how to edit in Wikipedia. I can correct any editing mishaps. Thanks.
