Der Eidechsenfänger Jost H. Jokisch (1881 - 1958)

We provide some data on the life of Hermann Josef (alias Jost H.) Jokisch, a German who lived for ca. ten years on the Balearic island of Ibiza where he collected lizards for the Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn. Apart from the archive of this museum, details about his hardly known life became apparent only through some German-speaking writers who had met and visited him on this island and partly integrated him as a literary figure into their writings.
