Dear Bernd,

Thanks for this straightforward approach to this problem. I have (once
again, having forgotten that I had in the past) bookmarked this valuable
site.  I notice that, of the 28 works by the Master, 17 are attributed to
Linnaeus and 11 to Linné.  Mirabile dictu: the first group runs from 1737
to 1761 and the second 1763 to 1789!

Dick, It seems there are two classes of bibliophiles at work here!

Bernd, I think you meant 1767, not "1757" below.

Harry
