Education

He attended the Johanneum and the Akademisches Gymnasium in Hamburg. Here he heard lectures by the doctor and naturalist Johann Albert Heinrich Reimarus and the doctor and botanist Paul Dietrich Giseke .

Other

The 1776 description of Papilio arnaca by Johann Christian Fabricius was based on an unspecified number of specimens from Suriname, in Schulze's collection. Two other Schulze Lepidoptera were species of "Papilio" for which he selected names which had recently been introduced by Pieter Cramer (claudia and iphigenia) for other species in Uitlandsche Kapellen. Thus Schulze's names were invalid primary homonyms. Schulze said that Fabricius had visited him in Hamburg to see his collection, and would be including the new species in the "mantissa" (or supplement) to his Systema entomologiæ (1775) Fabricius duly did so in the 1777 Genera insectorum and Schulze's new names are often credited to Fabricius in error.
