The name of Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) is inscribed in almost every flora and fauna published from the mid-eighteenth century onwards; in this respect he is virtually immortal. In this book a group of specialists argue for the need to re-centre Linnaean science and de-centre Linnaeus the man by exploring the ideas, practices and people connected to his taxonomic innovations.Contributors examine the various techniques, materials and methods that originated within the ‘Linnaean workshop’: paper technologies, publication strategies, and markets for specimens. Fresh analyses of the reception of Linnaeus’s work in Paris, Königsberg, Edinburgh and beyond offer a window on the local contexts of knowledge transfer, including new perspectives on the history of anthropology and stadial theory. The global implications and negotiated nature of these intellectual, social and material developments are further investigated in chapters tracing the experiences and encounters of Linnaean travellers in Africa, Latin America and South Asia.Through focusing on the circulation of Linnaean knowledge and placing it within the context of eighteenth-century globalization, authors provide innovative and important contributions to our understanding of the early modern history of science.

Alors que l’on sort à peine dela querelle des Anciens et des Modernes en Europe, la curiosité antiquaire semondialise. De Paris à Pékin, de Delhi à Mexico en passant par Copenhague ouPhiladelphie, cet engouement pour les discussions et les pratiques antiquairess’affirme au dix-huitième siècle et déconstruit les contours rassurants dumodèle gréco-latin. Ce livre essaie de rendre compte de ce changement d’échelleen suivant une perspective originale et nouvelle en faveur d’une histoireconnectée de la connaissance antiquaire au dix-huitième siècle. Loin destraditions nationales ou seulement comparatistes qui avaient mis en évidenceles relations que les différentes sociétés humaines avaient entretenues, aucours de l’histoire, avec les vestiges du passé, ce livre envisage les cultureset les savoirs antiquaires dans leur matérialité non seulement dans lesmétropoles européennes, mais aussi dans les capitales américaines etasiatiques. A distance d’une Antiquité figée, ce livre entend montrer commentla mobilité des savants et des artistes a commencé à pluraliser l’Antiquité dèsle dix-huitième siècle, à la dépayser dans un contexte global et impérial.~Justas the quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns was coming to an end inEurope, antiquarian curiosity became global. From Paris to Peking, from Delhito Mexico City, via Copenhagen and Philadelphia, this craze for antiquariandiscussions and practices took hold in the eighteenth century and deconstructedthe reassuring contours of the Greco-Latin model. This book attempts to accountfor this change of scale by following an original and new perspective in favourof a connected history of antiquarian knowledge in the eighteenth century. Farfrom the national or only comparative traditions that had highlighted therelations that the different human societies had maintained, in the course ofhistory, with the remains of the past, this book considers the cultures and theantiquarian knowledge in their materiality not only in the Europeanmetropolises, but also in the American and Asian capitals. This book aims toshow how the mobility of scholars and artists began to pluralize antiquity fromthe eighteenth century onwards, to make it more diverse in a global andimperial context.
