Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660–1740) was born and educated in Uppsala, Sweden, where he received an excellent education from his father and other qualified teachers. He studied medicine, and his thesis De propagatione plantarum, published in 1686, is considered to mark the birth of modern botany in Sweden. The so-called Great Book of Birds by Olof Rudbeck the Younger is a work begun in 1693 but was never published until a facsimile was made in 1985 (a limited number of 500 copies were printed). Rudbeck continued to give a series of ornithological lectures between 1727 and 1731, which were the first of their kind in Sweden.
