Brisson, Mathurin Jacques

    0.03 sec.

Brisson, Mathurin Jacques (1723-1806)

French zoologist and natural philosopher. He became assistant to the French scientist Réné Réamur and in 1756 published the first volume of his work on the animal kingdom, but after Réamur's death in 1757 he abandoned natural history for physical science.

Some of his best-known works are those on ornithology, among them his six-volume Ornithologie (1760).
