Adio Nico,

Voilà le lien : http://books.google.fr/books?id=MokO-3xTJf0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:%22Victorius+Picus%22&hl=fr&sa=X&ei=l6owUvTwL4bRsgbAioDIAQ&ved=0CEMQuwUwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false

Exemplaire provenant de LYON !

Et la page, mais cela n'apporte pas grand-chose... Le IV porte sur une page précédente à consulter sur le lien.
Si tu as besoin pour le latin, tu n'hésites pas...

Amitiés,

Merci Beñat. J'ai pourtant cherché dans Google Books, mais les occurences qui apparaissaient ne pointaient pas sur une version électronique. Comprends pas...

Hi Nico,

maybe you searched with an excess of "c".. ;-)

On l'a toujours appellé Pico, mais maintenant sur Index Fungorum il y a Picco. En effet je ne suis pas sur si le nom a perdu une "c" en le latinisant sur le title de l'ouvrage "Victorii Pici... Melethemata Inauguralia", ou bien il y avait vraiment une seule "c".
On devrait dire qu'en Piémont le nom "Picco" avec deux "c" existe actuellement.
Il faudrait faire quelques récherches anagraphiques...

Ciao Mario,

I don't see a need to write Vittorio Pico's name with two "c". He didn't and later Saccardo didn't and libraries doesn't. I consider this as one of the many errors in IF. His Name would be Viktor Specht (woodpecker) in German, Piccus wouldn't make any sense.
Additionally I don't consider "Melethemata inauguralia" as the proper title of his work. This means just something like "introducing writings" or maybe this was a formula to designate it as a thesis in those days. The proper title of his work comes on the next page: "Ex physica de fungorum generatione". This title is repeated in the headlines of the whole book as well.
My proposal for quoting this work is:
Pico, Vittorio. 1788. Ex physica de fungorum generatione. Torino.

Regards

Martin

I must row back since I realized that the work comprises several chapters of which only the first is named "Ex physica de fungorum generatione". It is followed by "Ex materia medica de fungis" (p. 105), and more chapters dealing with medical issues of fungi, like poisoning. So Melethemata Inauguralia is an appropriate but not a "nice" title for this book...

But I stay with Pico with one "c".... ;-)
Martin

I'm sorry Martin, because I always heard and used "Pico", but Stafleu&Cowan (TL2 4:250) have a different idea...

Hi Mario,

convinced! ;-)

Cheers

Martin

I still see the need of an accurate research in Turin... And...
can we ask to "conserve" the name of an author, even if it's not a fungus...?
