BLOCH, MARK ELIEZER (c. 17231799)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 72 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BLOCH, MARK ELIEZER (c. 17231799) ,
German
  naturalist, was born at
Ansbach
 , of poor Jewish parents, about 1723. After taking his degree as
doctor
  at
Frankfort
 -on-Oder he established himself as a physician at Berlin. His first scientific
work
  of importance was an
essay
  on intestinal worms, which gained a prize from the
Academy
  of
Copenhagen
 , but he is best known by his important
work
  on fishes (see ICHTHYOLOGY). Bloch was fifty-six when he began to write on ichthyological subjects. To begin at his time of
life
  a work in which he intended not only to give full descriptions of the species known to him from specimens or drawings, but also to illustrate each species in a style truly magnificent for his time, was an undertaking the execution of which most men would have despaired of. Yet he accomplished not only this task, but even more than he at first contemplated. He died at Carlsbad on the 6th of August 1799.
