Research Abstract |
We analyze anatomical and botanical terms in 16th and 17 the century books. In these books there were a lot of synonyms and each item was poorly classified. We showed that Gaspard Bauhin (1560-1624) conquered these difficulties by introducing primitive binominal nomenclature and his successors denominated individual plants and parts of human body by the same method as Bauhin’s.
