EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a page from an original manuscript of "Encomium Murchisoniaum," a poem penned by the remarkable Victorian-era fossil collector and self-taught palaeontologist, Mary Anning (1799-1847). The poem, written in the 1840s, is dedicated to Sir Roderick Impey Murchison (1792-1871), a renowned geologist and contemporary of Anning. The title "Encomium Murchisoniaum" translates to "In Praise of Murchison," reflecting Anning's admiration and appreciation for the influential figure in the field of geology. Mary Anning, born and raised in Lyme Regis, England, was a pioneer in the study of fossils, particularly of the Jurassic marine reptiles that littered the beaches of her hometown. Her discoveries, including the first complete Ichthyosaur skeleton, revolutionized the scientific understanding of prehistoric life. Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, a Scottish geologist, was instrumental in the establishment of the Geological Society of London and the development of the modern science of geology. His work on the Silurian and Devonian systems, as well as his advocacy for the uniformitarian theory, significantly advanced the field. The connection between these two extraordinary figures is evident in this heartfelt poem, where Anning pays tribute to Murchison's contributions to the scientific community and acknowledges their shared passion for the study of the earth's history. The intricate script and delicate illustrations adorning the page further highlight the artistry and dedication of Anning, a testament to her remarkable intellect and creativity.
