Lindroth writes (in Svensk Lärdomshistoria) that Linneaus made sure that the long set of dissertations were published in a more comprehensive edition. This is a complete set in first editons of the parts edited by Linnaeus himself. In 1785, a few years after his death, 2 more volumes were published by his pupil J. C. D. von Schreber.
