Talk:Carolus Clusius

Untitled edit

Regarding the latest edit (19 March 2005): though I won't change it, I hesitate to call Clusius a "Belgian botanist." He was born in Arras, which at the time (1526) was part of the Habsburg possessions in the Low Countries. It became part of the Spanish Netherlands when Charles V divided his inheritance between his brother Ferdinand (who succeeded him to the Austrian Habsburg possessions and as Emperor) and his son Philip. Arras is now part of France. At no time was it part of Belgium, a country that came into existence in 1830. It would be more accurate to call him a Walloon botanist, though even that is problematic. What about "Artesian botanist" or "botanist from Arras"? BWOgilvie 22:34, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I agree. The very "Category:Belgian botanists" is bogus. Clusius was an internationalist himself. --Wetman 03:47, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Another comment: I just added a reference to my forthcoming book on Renaissance natural history, not as advertising but as a reliable source and indication of my bona fides on this article. But if anyone thinks it is inappropriate, go ahead and remove it. :-) BWOgilvie, 16:08, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Clusius is mostly known by his latin name, and that's how he's called almost throughout the article. Wouldn't it be better to move the article to Carolus Clusius (now a redirect), in the same style as Willebrord Snellius, Rumphius, and Petrus Plancius? "Clusius, Carolus" is used in most encyclopedia and biographical dictionaries as well and recommended by the [Library of Congress]. The categories can then less confusingly be sorted by "Clusius, Carolus" as well. Afasmit 07:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

After a year I find this page again. A move probably will find little resistance, but I can't simply move it over the Carolus Crusius redirect page, as that page has had more than one edit. I'll go ahead with a move request. Arguments as above. Afasmit (talk) 03:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
