1726 Scheuchzer Homo diluvii testis
Bildnummer 11598261
| Homo diluvii testis (evidence of a diluvian human or witness of the flood) from the work of Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (August 2nd 1672 - June 23rd 1733). Folio size copperplate from Physica Sacra (1731) and first described by him in 1726 'L'Homme temoin du deluge'. Scheuchzer beleived this a human victim of the flood. He included the couplet from a deacon "afflicted skeleton of old,doomed to damnation,soften,thou stone,the heart of a wicked generation!". It was identified as a giant Salamander by Cuvier in 1811 (see other image in this collection). The current genus name Andrias was coined in 1837. Hence the current scientific name Andrias (image of man) scheuchzeri. There is a living member of the genus A. davidianus,the Japanese giant salamander. To the left here are fossil vertebrae which Scheuchzer believed were also human. Cuvier showed they were crocodilian | |
