‘The present-day importance of Richter’s Codex is two-fold: not only does it provide the user with a single point of access to the many titles and editions of Linnaeus’ botanical works, but it is uniquely useful as a guide to the pre-Linnaean botanical literature and its synonymy. By consulting Petermann’s Alphabetic Index, any phrase-name or polynomial published by a pre-Linnaean authority can be equated with its Linnaean binomial equivalent, and its full Linnaean synonymy ascertained by referring to the main body of the Codex.’ The work has been enhanced with a masterly introductory essay by Professor Walter Lack on Herman Richter.’ From Prof. Lucas’s review.
