Thierleben
[edit]Both the 1st and 2nd edition of Thierleben were translated to Swedish. The 1st Swedish edition appeared in 3 volumes in 1874-76 and the 2nd edition in 4 volumes in 1882-88. The title page of the first volume of the 2nd edition clearly says 1882. This makes me think that the German 2nd edition didn't appear 1883-1887, but already in the late 1870s? Could anybody with access to this German 2nd edition (or a good library catalog) please check this? Items for sale at Zvab.com indicate the 2nd German edition appeared in 10 volumes 1876-1879 (Säugethiere 1 1876; Säugethiere 2, Insekten 1877; Vögel, Kriechthiere, Niederen Thiere 1878; Fische 1879), then again 1883-1884. Brehm died in 1884 so the 3rd edition (1890-1893) was the first that wasn't edited by himself. --LA2
Not zookeeper?
[edit]This person is categorized as zookeeper, but doesn't seem to have been a zookeeper at all? Dan Koehl (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- He was a Zoo director, and a Zoo director employs staff to look after the animals, they are referred to as zookeepers. Dan Koehl (talk) 22:38, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
