= Nissen, BBI 1977; Hunt p.450: "(...) The significance of Tournefort to eighteenth-century botany, and to that of today, lies in him having classified all plants into genera. (...) it was Tournefort who first set the genera and their component species apart, treating the genus as the smallest practical unit of classification, and considering the species as variants of the genus. To this day he is known among botanists as the father of the generic concept. Hundreds of the generic names coined or accepted by him were later adopted by Linneaus and are in use today. (...)".

= Not in Poggendorff; Kat. Orn. Berlin 3541; Roberts & Trent p.29-30: "Bélidor's work is one of the earliest scientific books in the field of engineering. Concentrating on civil construction, he considers transportation, shipbuilding, waterways and watersupply, ornamental fountains, windmills and pumps, epitomizing their state on the eve of the Industrial Revolution." Bélidor was the first to use differential and integral equations for the solution of hydrotechnical problems. The work remained the standard authority on practical water engineering long after most of the techniques it describes became obsolete.
