Conrad Gessner on the spelling of his name, Archives of natural history, v. 27, no. 2, 2000: "For 250 years, the vernacular spelling of the family name of the polymath Conrad Gessner of Zurich (1516-1565) has been in doubt, owing to an erroneous analogy with the Latin spelling, which does not require a double s. The history of this error is presented, followed by an examination of Gessner's own usage throughout his life, as it appears in autograph documents and works printed under his direction. Posthumous evidence and evidence from other members of the family and the community are also adduced to demonstrate consistency in the vernacular spelling of Gessner's name ... The secondary question regarding the spelling of Conrad Gessner's first name is not resolvable, because the usage was flexible ... Given the sum of the evidence adduced above, including autograph signatures in German throughout Conrad Gessner's lifetime, and the usage of his family generally, it seems only right to accord Gessner the courtesy of reinstating his own preference")
