Note 13 — Chapter I · The Botanists of Germany and the Netherlands from Brunfels to Kaspar Bauhin[2].
Henry E. F. (Henry Edward Fowler) Garnsey translation
Charles de l’Écluse (Carolus Clusius) was born in Arras in 1526. His family suffered from religious persecution in France, and he spent the greater part of his life in Germany and the Netherlands; in 1573 he removed to Vienna by the invitation of Maximilian II; in 1593 he became professor in Leyden and died there in 1609. See Meyer, ‘Geschichte der Botanik,’ iv, who gives full information respecting the eventful life of this distinguished man.
