Transcription

Gundelsheimer has finally found someone to take Sloane a number of books on botany, pharmacology and medicine. He reports news of titles soon to be published and will send a number of plant specimens soon. Andre Gundelsheimer (1668-1715), or Andreas von Gundelsheimer, was a German physician. He practiced in Paris then accompanied Joseph Pitton de Tournefort from Greece to Iran and back before settling in Germany. Gundelsheimer was a councillor to Prince-Elector Frederick I and served Frederick-William I during the Pomeranian campaign during which he died (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_von_Gundelsheimer).
