Cuvier* \[standard form in IPNI: *F.Cuvier*\] #### Note Frédéric Cuvier is listed here because he was the general editor of the *Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles*. The *Dictionnaire* contains descriptions of numerous new taxa; it is often referred to, after its publisher, as *Levrault's Dictionnaire*. The *Dictionnaire* was attributed erroneously to Georges Cuvier in TL-1. The latter contributed to the book (articles signed C.C. or C.V. or C.) but the general editor was his brother Frédéric. #### Bibliography and biography DBF 9: 1438. #### Eponymy *Cuviera* A. P. de Candolle (1807, *nom. cons.*) and *Cuviera* G. L. Koeler (1802, *nom. rej.*) are dedicated to his elder brother Georges Léopold Chrétien Frédéric Dagobert Cuvier (1769-1832), *q.v.* ### Publications ##### n.1293. Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles dans lequel on traite méthodiquement des differents êtres **Title** *Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles dans lequel on traite méthodiquement des differents êtres* *de la nature*. Paris 1804-1806, 6 vols., Oct. †; second edition Paris 1816-1845, 61 vols. Oct. **Abbreviated title**: *Dict. sci. nat.* **Notes** *Publ*.: The first five volumes (A-BYT) and a few copies of volume 6 were published between 1804 and 1806. Publication was then discontinued and taken up again in 1816. The first six volumes were re-issued with supplements and the publication was completed in the following years. These publications were indeed re-issues of the old sheets with new titlepages and with separately paged *suppléments*. The volumes of the second issue can therefore be used to quote from the first issue. The plates (also issued in 60 fascicles) are sometimes bound separately in 12 volumes (there was a coloured and an uncoloured issue), four other volumes (25 fascicles) contain the "Biographie des naturalistes" with portraits. A supplementary volume (2 parts) covering the letters A-Aye was published in 1840, but the supplement was then discontinued. The dates given here for volumes 1-6 (first series) and 1-22 (second series) are those provided by Sayre. The remaining dates are those provided by Cassini. Sherborn's publication confirms these dates in general (cf. also Stearn 1954). The text volumes of the second edition were available on vélin paper and on 'ordinary white paper.' The plates, which were published in separate fascicles, were published in octavo and in folio; both of these were available either uncoloured or coloured. Twelve copies of the quarto edition of the plates were produced with double prints, one coloured and one uncoloured; two copies of the octavo edition were issued in the same way with two sets of prints. Turpin was in charge of the production of the drawings and engravings (see publisher's announcement of the first 16 volumes of text and 14 fascicles of plates in Isis 1820, Beylage 7, p. 104). *First edition* (Quarto) †: |Volume |date | |--- |--- | |1 |12 Oct 1804 | |2 |12 Oct 1804 | |3 |30 Jan 1805 | |4 |8 Jan 1806| |5 |8 Jan 1806| |6 |1806| *Second edition*, Strassbourg (F.
