摘要

One of the great private natural history cabinets of the 18 th century was that of the Linck family of Leipzig pharmacists. Parts of the collection have survived to the present and form the core of the Naturalienkabinett Waldenburg in Saxony, Germany. The collection was particularly rich in reptiles and was documented by Johann Jakob Scheuchzer in his Physica Sacra (1731–1735), which figured 67 specimens of snakes and amphisbaenians based on a set of unpu- blished illustrations, the Icones Serpentum et Viperarum, prepared under the direction of Johann Heinrich Linck the El- der. We review the original herpetological content of the Linck collection as documented by Johann Heinrich Linck the Younger in his Index Musae Linckiani (1783–1787) and provide both a summary of earlier identifications (to 1858) of the species depicted in the Icones and Physica Sacra and new identifications based on our research. Some of these sna- kes served as holotypes or syntypes of species described by Linnaeus and Blasius Merrem and, thus, are of taxonomic significance. As many as 11 of these illustrated specimens (although none of them types), and an unknown number of others, are still extant in Waldenburg. At a minimum, these specimens were present in the Linck collection in 1729, but they may be as much as half a century older, as the reptile collection was already large and well-known by the debut of the century. Even at the minimum age possible, the surviving Linck snakes figured by Scheuchzer are among the oldest documented fluid-preserved herpetological specimens in the world.
