阿什莫林博物馆的第二任馆长爱德华·勒维德（Edward Lhwyd）于1699年出版的《不列颠石纹》（Lithophylacii Britannicii ichnographia）是第一本附有插图的英国化石野外指南。我们分析了这本书的物理创作-标本的收集，它们的雕刻和它们的使用和再利用在十八世纪的版本和收藏，是在过渡到二项式分类。本文首先分析了标本的采集过程，并着重讨论了石珊瑚化石的来源。然后，我们将研究这些标本的使用和Lhwyd的书的后续版本，重点是它们之间的关系是如何被收藏家，如汉斯斯隆爵士和丹尼尔索兰德从1680年到1760年。最后，我们将展示阿什莫尔守护者威廉·哈德斯福德如何将Lhwyd书中的插图重新用于他的18世纪版野外指南，并纳入新的分类方案。我们的分析将使我们深入了解在林奈分类学发展之前和发展期间，自然历史学家和收藏家是如何使用和重新利用一本17世纪晚期的自然哲学书籍的。
TheLithophylacii Britannicii ichnographia[British figured stones] (1699) by Edward Lhwyd, the second keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, was the first illustrated field guide to English fossils. We analyse this book’s physical creation – the collection of specimens, their engravings and their use and reuse in eighteenth-century editions and collections that were in the transition to binomial taxonomy. With particular concentration on theLithophylacii’sillustrations of fossils, this paper will first analyse how the specimens were collected. We will then examine the use of these specimens and subsequent editions of Lhwyd’s book, with a focus upon how the relationship between them was drawn on by collectors such as Sir Hans Sloane and Daniel Solander from 1680 to 1760. Finally, we will demonstrate how Ashmolean Keeper William Huddesford repurposed the illustrations for Lhwyd’s book for his eighteenth-century edition of the field guide, incorporating new classificatory schemes. Our analysis will give insight into how a late seventeenth-century book of natural philosophy was used and repurposed by natural historians and collectors before and during the development of Linnaean taxonomy.
