List of Eponyms

Postby Audiendus » Mon Apr 01, 2024 9:23 pm

I have been looking at Dr. Goodword's alphabetical list of eponyms, and I have the following suggestions for corrections and additional dates. I have underlined these.

Ampere - [garbled text in RH column]

Bacitracin - Margaret Tracy (1936-1994)

Borrelia - [garbled text in RH column]

Boysenberry - Rudolph Boysen (1895-1950).

Canfield [garbled text in RH column]

Freesia - Friedrich Freese (1795-1876]

Galenical - Claudius Galenus (129-216 CE [not BCE]).

Joule - [dates are repeated]

Moonie - Sun Myung Moon (1920-2012).

Pander - Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375).

Sanforize - Sanford Lockwood Cluett (1874-1968).

Savarin - Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826).

And a suggestion for an addition . . .

Hollander and Sons Fur Care, for Hollanderize (capitalized), a lapsed trademark for a process for cleaning furs.
