Individual evidence

  1. The main source is the book by Georg Schwedt, Liebig und seine Schüler, Springer 2002. According to Schwedt, the list of 209 students is incomplete (the list is also broken off prematurely, more students are mentioned in the text). Unless otherwise noted, the book is the source for an entry as a student of Liebig. The Munich students are also not fully included (e.g. George Jarvis Brush, Ogden Nicholas Root, Wilhelm Fleischmann and Victor Merz are missing).
