Scheuchzer's key published contribution was «Bibliotheca scriptorum historiae naturalis» (1716; reissued 1751), written preliminary to a fuller study of Swiss natural history. Its primary arrangement was therefore geographical; titles were arranged chronologically under authors in each section. As such, it was the first worldwide geographical guide to natural history works - including floras” (David G. Frodin, Guide to Standard Floras of the World, page 4). ‎
