[edit]Borellus was quoted by H. P. Lovecraft in his story "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward":
- 'The essential Saltes of Animals may be so prepared and preserved, that an ingenious Man may have the whole Ark of Noah in his own Studie, and raise the fine Shape of an Animal out of its Ashes at his Pleasure; and by the lyke Method from the essential Saltes of humane Dust, a Philosopher may, without any criminal Necromancy, call up the Shape of any dead Ancestour from the Dust whereinto his Bodie has been incinerated.'
But I don't know if this is a real quote since a search only brings up Lovecraft's story. 97.104.210.67 (talk) 02:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually a quote from Cotton Mather about Borellus' work.--64.46.16.51 (talk) 04:59, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Actually the title of Borel´s book is "Historiarum [...]" not "Historiarium [...]". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.112.103.181 (talk) 13:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
