Coenraad Jacob Temminck (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈkunraːˈtɕaːkɔpˈtɛmɪŋk];[a] 31 March 1778 – 30 January 1858) was a Dutch patrician,zoologist andmuseum director.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Coenraad Jacob Temminck was born on 31 March 1778 inAmsterdam in theDutch Republic. From his father,Jacob Temminck, who wastreasurer of theDutch East India Company with links to numerous travellers and collectors, he inherited a large collection of bird specimens. His father was a good friend ofFrancois Levaillant who also guided Coenraad.

Temminck'sManuel d'ornithologie, ou Tableau systématique des oiseaux qui se trouvent en Europe (1815) was the standard work on European birds for many years. He was also the author ofHistoire naturelle générale des Pigeons et des Gallinacées (1813–1817), illustrated byPauline Knip.[2] He wroteNouveau Recueil de Planches coloriées d'Oiseaux (1820–1839), and contributed to the mammalian sections ofPhilipp Franz von Siebold'sFauna japonica (1844–1850).

Temminck was the first director of theNational Museum of Natural History in Leiden, from 1820 until his death in 1858. In 1824, he was elected to theAmerican Philosophical Society.[3] In 1831, he was elected a foreign member of theRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In 1836 he became member of the Royal Institute, predecessor of theRoyal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[4]

Works

[edit]

Temminck, in collaboration withHeinrich Kuhl, is the author of descriptions of parrots, including the rosellaPlatycercus icterotis.[5] A taillessmutant of a junglefowlGallus lafayettii was described in 1807 by Temminck, which in 1868 the EnglishnaturalistCharles Darwin incorrectly denied existed.[6] Another junglefowl, described in 1813 by Temminck asGallus giganteus was, he believed, one of six wild ancestral species of domestic fowl; Darwin, however, demonstrated that the latter has a single (monophyletic) origin.[7]
