Clerical Naturalists in Alphabetical Order
This page contains an alphabetical list of clerical naturalists from Richard Abbay to Basil Patras Zula.
There are currently 988 names in the list and more are being added regularly. Each entry includes an individual's name, their dates of birth and death, and a reference to one or more of four key printed sources (Armstrong, Challinor, Desmond, or Kent and Allen).
I have added a brief biographical note to about 35% of the entries so far, and this will increase over time. About 25% of the entries now have a link to the individual's entry in one or more standard online sources (BHL, CCEd, Herbaria@Home, ODNB, Quakers, Royal Society, or Wikipedia). I will add more links regularly.
Please browse the page or use page search to search for keywords (Control + F on Windows or Command + F on a Mac).
This list is a work in progress and the long-term goal is to migrate it to a fully searchable database. To illustrate the data that will be available from the database when the project is more advanced, I have created sample pages for William Derham, William Turner, and Gilbert White.
