Author Description

Excerpt from Synopsis Hymenophyllacearum: Monographiae Hujus Ordinis Prodromus Microscopio itaque usus, omnes Species, qua rum specimina habebam, accurate investigare statui idque inprimìs egi, ut specierum ab auctoribus veteribus descriptarum notitiam mihi compararem.

In ter omnes autem constat, veterum testimonia in hac scientia non impune negligi neque de cere excusationis causa atferre, illorum diagno ses nimia brevitate peccare dignoscendaeque Speciei non semper sufiìcere. Pr0pterea quan tum potni eorum specimina aeque religiose ac recentiorum investigavi et characteribus, quos microsc0pii usus suppeditavit, novis magisque certis denno in schedulis descripsi et in pro priam usum delineavi.
