In both cases the Consistorium ranked Linnaeus before Wallerius. As a specimen for the chair of medicine Wallerius published a thesis containing severe criticism of Linnaeus's medical works, especially his thesis from 1735. The public defense ended in chaos. However, Linnaeus was appointed in 1741. (Note by O. Almborn). ### Publications ##### n.16.577.
