Index Litteraturae Entomologicae

"Index Litteraturae Entomologicae: Serie 1" is a comprehensive bibliographic reference work that catalogs the global literature of entomology from its earliest beginnings through 1863. This first volume, compiled by Walther Horn and Sigmund Schenkling, covers authors from Aalborg to Ferrière, providing a meticulous record of scientific publications, treatises, and monographs related to the study of insects.

As a foundational tool for the history of science, this work offers invaluable insights into the development of zoological classification and the evolution of entomological research over several centuries. It serves as an essential resource for researchers, librarians, and historians, enabling the identification and location of rare and historic scientific texts. By organizing centuries of entomological knowledge, this volume facilitates a deeper understanding of the taxonomic and biological discoveries that shaped the field of entomology before the mid-19th century.
