Siásmuirri Bairteréass (English pronunciation /ˈʃas.mə.ˌɹi ˌbɑɹ.tə.ˈreɪ̯s/, 4439 – 4484 CY, native name Schåzmurnyn Partschereess Hadindwiissid), was an artist, biologist, taxonomist, and humanist from Gistetschö who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. Much of his writing was done in Classical Doccábh; his name was and is thus rendered in the language.
His contributions to various areas of science earned him many awards, given both in his lifetime and post-humously, and he is widely considered one of the greatest scientific minds of the early modern period. Despite his popularity in the scientific and academic community in his time, he was the subject of political controversy due to his views on SOMETHING IDK LOL, eventually leading to his execution at the age of 45 in 4484CY.
Biography
Early life
Childhood and early education
Bairteréass was born on DAY in 4439CY in the city of PLACENAME. He was the second child of Schåzmurnyn Hadindwiiss Tschaabdüsched, an amateur botanist and professional pharmacist, and Ytytschooryn Schujoks Hönpöd. His siblings were NAME1, NAME2, and NAME3; NAME1 was influential in Bairteréass becoming interested in botany and thus taxonomy, later receiving a degree in the subject after writing his 4451 thesis on plant disease.
University studies
Bairteréass was later invited to NAME University, studying botany and zoology. He submitted his thesis on taxonomy of the rose plant family in 4467.
During his time there, he met his future partner Schuschåz Petschmi Tuschogod, who he would later go on to marry in 4470. His father Hadindwiiss initially disapproved of both the courtship and marriage, given cultural stigma around men marrying wråschåns, though he allowed the two to marry - with rumors circulating later that it was because he believed that his brother NAME1 would be much more successful regardless. Bairteréass paid little attention to his family's thoughts on the arrangement. He wrote on the subject in a letter to his colleague Séinni Gaide:
My father has written letter after letter to me disparaging the love I have towards Petschmi, as though his words could change my mind. The corrupt modern morality disdains pure and simple romance, and I yearn for the days of the empire when such a partnership would be celebrated as much as one with any woman.
TODO ↑ rename Gaide maybe. theyre from Bairreré (doccabh state in the gintem) anyway
Controversy
Bairteréass was a strong Doccábh nationalist and supporter of Tschintierst expansionism, which were dangerous ideals to hold as a citizen of the Gintem, especially before the reforms of TODO THE DOCCABH REFORMS WE TALKED ABOUT. He frequently made references to the Doccábh Empire, and published many treatises arguing for significant portions of Gintem land to be seized for the purpose of rebuilding a new Doccábh state based on the ideals of the empire, of democracy, and of humanism.
Later years and execution
Bairteréass spent the last decade of his life in and out of prison and house arrest, as well as amassing fines for crimes of treason. Despite this, he made his best attempts to continue his work in taxonomy and art. On DAY in 4484CY, he was executed by guillotine. The government initially refused to allow his family to bury his body, in an attempt to dissuade further treasonous thought; they eventually released the body and he was reburied in 4487. He left no children, although well over 100 relatives are known today that are descendants of his siblings. His partner Petschmi would go on to assist Bairteréass' disciples in collating his work and releasing the final edition that includes new work from him, the proceeds from which went to Petschmi. Petschmi died in the year 4510 from natural causes. The two are currently buried together in the Schåzmurnyn family cemetery.
His final letters increasingly mentioned his hope for the future of a Doccábh state, seeing the reforms being passed by king NAME in Tschintiesteiss.
Íoguisn Geaguinni
Íoguisn Geaguinni (Classical Doccábh /i:.ˈɣu.zʲn̩ʲ gʲe.ˈɣu.nʲˑi/, English pronunciation /i:ˈgu:.ʒən gɛˈgu:.ni/) is Bairteréass' most popular work, laying out both a systematised version of binomial nomenclature and a large index of organisms laid out in a taxonomic tree, which was later updated in many editions published both by Bairteréass and his disciples. The first edition was published in 4469, to resounding interest in the scientific and academic world of the time.
Bairteréass' disciples
In his tenure at NAME University, he attracted many devoted students, 14 of which have later been termed his disciples; during his later life, a large portion of which was spent in prison or otherwise forbidden to leave his home, they became instrumental in continuing his work, going on botanical expeditions in his stead. While out of the country, they collected samples and wrote back to Bairteréass, slowly amassing a library of specimens and expanding the plant taxonomy of the day. Their positions on his political life varied; some followed his views as closely as his on taxonomy, others were open critics, some were later executed in their own right for the fanatacism they showed towards the man convicted of treason.
