[Systema Naturae]
The first edition of Systema Naturae had only 11 pages but Linnaeus added to the
book over the years, adding new species as he discovered them. The 13th edition
appeared in 1770 and was 3,000 pages long. ‘God created – Linnaeus organized.’
That was how Linnaeus summed up his lifetime achievements.
