J'aime beaucoup l'idée du professeur de zoologie arrivant en cours magistral c.1890 avec une référence bibliographique massive remontant à trois siècles et demi plus tôt.

Deux paragraphes en anglais WHEN I was one of the graduate student body in zoology under Professor W. K. Brooks at the Johns Hopkins University years ago, among the other' veils of ignorance which he attempted to lift from before our eyes was that behind which were hidden the works of the fathers of natural history. On those days he introduced at least one student to a field of study in which he has found very great pleasure. I well remember the day when he brought out and opened before us the five great folio tomes of the "Historiae Animalium" of Conrad Gesner, published at Zurich 1551-1587. Little did I think then that years later I was to become well acquainted with that volume entitled "Historiae Animalium, Liber IIII, Qui Est de Piscium & Aquatilium Animantium Natura.. ." Tiguri (Zurich), 1554.
