ARTEDI, PETER (17o5-1735)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 663 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ARTEDI, PETER (17o5-1735) , Swedish naturalist, was born in the province of Angermania, in
Sweden
 , on the 22nd of
February
  1705. Intending to become a clergyman, he went, in 17 24, to study theology at
Upsala
 , but he turned his attention to
medicine
  and natural history, especially ichthyology, upon the study of which he exercised
great
 
influence
  (see ICHTHYOLOGY). In 1728 his countryman
Linnaeus
  arrived in
Upsala
 , and a lasting friendship was formed between the two. In 1732 both left Upsala, Artedi for England, and
Linnaeus
  for
Lapland
 ; but before parting they reciprocally bequeathed to each other their manuscripts and books in the event of death. He was accidentally drowned on the 27th of September 1735 at
Amsterdam
 , where he was engaged in cataloguing the collections of Albert Seba, a wealthy Dutchman, who had formed what was perhaps the richest museum of his time. According to agreement, his manuscripts came into the hands of Linnaeus, and his Bibliotheca Ichthyologica and Philosophia Ichthyologica, together with a
life
  of the author, were published at Leiden in the year 1738.
