Responding to Frank Licher's question about proper names, he notes the
following:
>>LINNE, CHARLES or LINNAEUS, CAROLUS
>
Linnaeus was born as "Carl Linnaeus." Later in life, when he was recognized
as part of nobility, his name was changed to "Carl von Linne." I've seen
one portrait, which appears to be a copy from another, where he has the
name "Charles Linne." I don't think Linnaeus ever referred to himself as
"Charles". I believe "Carolus" is just a latinized form of "Carl". I
suggest using "Carl Linnaeus."
