Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri (November 28, 1761, Crassier, Vaud – January 7, 1828) was a Swiss-German bryologist. He studied at the University of Lausanne, and at the age of 19 began work as a tutor to the princes of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. In 1804 he was appointed ''Geheimer Legationsrath'' to the Privy Council, and he later worked as a librarian in the city of Gotha. He was the author of an important work on mosses titled ''Muscologia recentiorum'' (1797-1803), of which several supplements were issued in the ensuing years. Later, he published the two-volume ''Bryologia universa'' (1826–27), which was an improved edition of his earlier work. In the latter work he introduced a new system for classification of mosses; a system that is no longer used. The genus ''Bridelia'' was named in his honor by German botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812). A portion of his herbarium is now housed at the Berlin Botanical Museum, and a number of his scientific papers are kept at the ''Forschungsbibliothek Gotha Schloss Friedenstein'' in Gotha. Also, he was the author of ''Délassements poétiques'', a well-received book of poetry. == References == * () translated biography @ Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie * (Pierer's Universal-Lexicon ) (translated biography) * ''Parts of this article are based on a translation of an equivalent article at the Spanish Wikipedia.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
