French Authors in Conrad Gesner’s “Bibliotheca Universalis”
Swiss botanist, zoologist, doctor and philologist, Conrad Gesner (1516-1565) also was a famous bibliographer. He is considered to be the founder of modern bibliography because of his work, Bibliotheca Universalis sive Catalogus omnium scriptorum locupletissimus in tribus linguis, latina, graeca et hebraica…, published in Zürich in 1545, which includes more than 12.000 titles in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. A copy of this valuable work belonged to Timotei Cipariu. It is kept in place of honour in the funds of the Library of the Academy, in Cluj. Among the authors included in the Bibliotheca Universalis there are many French ones, such as Jean Calvin, Guillaume Budé, Robert Ier Estienne, Charles Estienne, Jacques Dubois, Jean Fernel, Oronce Finé, represented by their most important works that were known at the time.
