Georg Christian Oeder, 1728-1791, Danish physician and botanist, was born at Anspach in Bavaria. He held the chair of botany at the University
of Copenhagen. There were four issues of the
Nomenclatura botanica in 1769, two in Latin with variant titles, which were translated into German. It is not known exactly which variant of the
Latin titles was in Jefferson’s library.
