About “Systema Naturæ”
The 10th edition of Systema Naturae is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759. It marks the beginning of zoological nomenclature. In this work, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, a system he had previously used for plants in his 1753 publication Species Plantarum. The book is a key reference in the history of biological classification. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
