At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Rudbeck Jr. turned his attention away from nature studies to speculation about the relationship between Lapp and Hebrew languages. He was ennobled in 1719 (noble family Rudbeck, nr. 1637). His student, the botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), named a genus of flowers Rudbeckia in honor of him and his father. His sister, Wendela, married Peter Olai Nobelius, from whom descends Alfred Nobel , founder of the Nobel Prizes. REFERENCES |
