| Apr 13, 2020 at 4:03 | comment | added | nwr | Regarding the Linné attribution, the wiki article states "The Latin translation comes from Linnaeus' Philosophia Botanica." I probably should have read that first. | |
| Apr 13, 2020 at 3:50 | comment | added | nwr | Perhaps the author's qualification of "explicit use" refers to the exact phrasing. He does comment that the principle is ancient. | |
| Apr 13, 2020 at 3:35 | comment | added | lcv | @Nick thanks, that is weird as that put it even after Leibniz who died in 1716 and seems credited with quoting the principle in various occasion. | |
| Apr 13, 2020 at 3:17 | comment | added | nwr | The text Reproducibility: Principles, Problems, Practices, and Prospects claims that the first explicit use of "Natura non facit saltus" is due to Linne 1751 (Chapter III, par 77, 27), although this is much later than your reference to Theutobocus (1613). | |
