Preface 

i 

The basis of the present publication is H. Engel's well-known "Alphabetical 

list of Dutch zoological cabinets and menageries" published almost fifty 

years ago in the Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde XXVII, 1939, p. 247-346. Engel 

soon started to collect material for a second edition of his list. His death 

in 1981, prevented the realization of this plan. Mrs. M. Engel-Ledeboer presented 

me with her late husband's manuscript and notes. Together with drs. 

A.P.M. Sanders and Miss J.P.F. van der Veer we completed Engel's work. The 

second edition of his invaluable list is essentially based on data brought 

together by Engel. We prepared them for the printer and supplemented them 

with easily accessible information from a number of municipal archives (esp. 

Amsterdam, Haarlem, Dordrecht, Rotterdam, Delft, Utrecht and Zutphen) and 

from the Artis-Library (Amsterdam) and the Biohistorical Institute 

(Utrecht). 

Although the number of entries has been augmented by more than SO%, the new 

list still does not give an exhaustive survey of the Dutch zoological collectors. 

Only for the period before 1800 a certain degree of completeness 

can be claimed. Occasionally one can perhaps speak of over-completeness. 

Even if there was only slight evidence that a certain cabinet contained zoological 

material, it got a place in the list. For the 19th and 20th centuries 

we could not be but selective. In this case completeness would have resulted 

in a list of inordinate length. Therefore only the major collectors 

have been included, 

Engel's list contains a tremendous lot of information both on the cabinets 

and their owners. The information is arranged according to the following 

scheme: name; dates of birth and death; profession; data on the nature of 

the collection, with, if available, supplementary information on drawings, 

instruments, books, etc.; survey of the sources, first general books of reference, 

then more specific publications. 

Engel's list is nothing more but nothing less than a basic tool for further 

historical research. It has already proved its use for two recently finished 

master theses (resp. Mr. Jaap van der Veen's study on seventeenth-century 

collections in Amsterdam and Miss lhea Nederveen's prosopography of collectors 

residing in The Hague). We hope that others will follow their example 

and contribute to the exploration of a very interesting, but neglected part 

of Dutch cultural and scientific history.

Introduction 

ii 

By way of introduction I would like to give some characteristics of the 

major periods in the history of Dutch zoological collecting. 

The period until ca. 1600 

The first period witnessed the beginnings of natural history collecting in 

the Netherlands, It played an important role in stressing the social status 

of the nobility and the emergent class of wealthy burghers. 

The oldest data are from the mid fourteenth century when William IV, Count 

of Holland, kept living lions, falcons and bears on his estate in the Hague. 

At about the same period the Dukes of Guelre had a menagerie on their castle 

Rozendaal near Arnhem. 

The prosperous Dutch cities illustrated their position by keeping "royal" 

animals like lions and birds of prey (esp. eagles, symbol of power). E.g. 

the city of Kampen had within its walls a liontower with lions sent over 

from Portugal (1477) and Spain (1483). 

We also find in this period the first scientific collections. Besides Carolus 

Clusius, Bernardus Paludanus must be mentioned. Paludanus possessed a 

precious collection of natural history, ethnographies and art-objects. As 

appears from his "Album amicorum" Paludanus's museum was world-famous. In 

1651 it came into the possession of Count Frederik III and was incorporated 

in his "Gottorpische Kunstkammer", 

The period 1600-1800 

From the point of view of Dutch cultural history this period certainly is 

the most interesting. 

Its beginning coincides with the rise of the Dutch colonial empire, A rapidly 

growing number of exotic plants and animals from the East and West Indies, 

Malabar, Ceylon, South Africa and North America began to reach the 

Netherlands and found its way into numerous private and institutional collections. 

The flourishing of botanical gardens, e.g. of Amsterdam and Leyden, 

and of zoos like those of the Stadtholders and of the inn of Blauw Jan 

at Amsterdam (see no. 150) is closely linked with Dutch colonial expansion, 

The group of zoological collectors, consisting of men and women, was rather 

heterogenous. Among them we find of course people with a more or less formal 

scientific training like physicians, pharmacists and surgeons but also a 

great number of merchants, magistrates, prominent citizens, poets, painters 

etc, Among this latter group there were many people who had close relations 

with the East India Company. 

Particular in the first part of the period the motive to collect animals was 

not predominantly a scientific one, In most cases the natural objects were 

an integral part of a collection which included paintings, porcelain, coins, 

antiquities, silver etc. etc, The seventeenth-century museum reflected primarily 

an encyclopedic interest in the products of nature and culture.

iii 

Examples of this type of "Kunstkammer" collectors are Jan en Pieter Bisschop, 

Wouter Valckenier and Rembrand van Rijn. 

Aesthetic considerations influenced the collectors 1 s activities as appears 

from the fact that they concentrated on animals like shells and colourful 

insects, esp. butterflies. An aesthetic element can also be discerned in the 

arrangement of the objects. The animals were generally exhibited in beautiful 

and precious cases in which they were frequently arranged in an artistic 

way. E.g. butterflies along embroidered lines forming geometric patterns 

(Vincent) and shells depicting Neptune's head (Seba). 

Collecting for the sake of science gradually became of decisive influence in 

the establishment of zoological museums. Notable scientific collections from 

the seventeenth century were, e.g., those of Swammerdam Sr. & Jr. and Frederik 

Ruysch. The eighteenth century counted numerous important collectors. 

Among them Camper, Gronovius Sr. & Jr., Houttuyn, Vosmaer (for the museum of 

stadtholder William V). Besides mention must be made of institutional collections 

of universities, scientific societies and surgeon's guilds. 

It was certainly no exaggeration when Le Francq van Berkhey wrote that Holland 

had become "a storehouse of rarities, especially of exotic natural products" 

(Le Francq van Berkhey, 1769). This storehouse proved to exert a considerable 

attraction on foreign scientists. E.g. Linnaeus, Pallas and 

Pennant visited the Low Countries in order to study in the museums and menageries, 

the plants and animals which could hardly be found in collections 

elsewhere. 

The knowledge of the history of zoological collecting in the Netherlands is 

still very scanty. Particularly the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries 

seem to be a rewarding period for future research. Aspects which demand attention 

are, e.g., the motives of the collectors, especially of the nonscientific 

ones; the collector network; means of acquisition (auctions, 

dealers etc.); the collections as public institutions (there are several interesting 

visitors's books); the role of the collections in the development 

of zoology. 

The period 1800-now 

This period can best be characterized by the dominant position of the state 

and the institutional collections. 

It started during the French occupation when King Louis Napoleon developed 

the plan to provide the Dutch scientific cormnunity with something comparable 

to the "Musee d'Histoire Naturelle". After he and his countrymen had been 

expelled from the Netherlands, King William I took the initiative for a 

State Museum of Natural History at Leiden. The nucleus of this museum consisted 

of the collection brought together by Louis Napoleon, the remnants of 

the Stadtholder's museum, the collection of Leiden university and the private 

collections of Brugmans and Temminck. 

Besides this central institution a great number of regional museums were 

established in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Their 

rise and activities are clearly associated with the growing interest in

Early after the encircling of the town by stonewalls, lions were kept by the 

municipality (Loisel I, p. 156 seq.). Swans were also held (Witkamp 1872, p. 

V). According to Citroen (1967): Count Philipp Ludwig II of Hanau-Munzenberg 

visited 1594 in "De Doe len", the shooting-range, where he saw a living elephant 

and a camel; the alchemist Count Michael Maier (cf. J.B. Craven: Ct. 

M, Maier, 1568-1622, Life and Writings, Kirkwall 1910, p. 3) saw in 1611 at 

Amsterdam a superb collection of shells in the cabinet of a Dutch antiquary;

The present anatomical collections of the University are based on the collection 

of G. and W. Vrolik (q,v.), cf, Dusseau 1865: Museum Vrolik (cf. Museum 

1976, p. 19). 

The Amsterdam Zoological Gardens "Natura Artis Magistra", founded 1838, 

started showing a collection of stuffed animals. R, Draak (q.v.) had brought 

together on the garret of the Amsterdam Orphanage, Kalverstraat, opposite

9 

the bookshop of G.F. Westerman, who together with Weisman and Weismuller 

took the initiative for an Amsterdam Zoo. The animals were exhibited in the 

New Town Inn (Nieuwe Stadsherberg) in the Plantage (Dethmar 1838-1841, III, 

p. 76), later (15 Oct, 1838) in the garden in the Plantage bought by the Society 

Natura Artis Magistra. Draak became its first director (up to 28 Febr. 

1840, when -disagreeing with the managers -he left with his collection). 

Then G.F. Westerman (1807-1890, q.v.) became director. At once a new collection 

including living animals - derived from a travelling menagerie - was 

started; Scheffer 1939, p. 148 mentions a drawing of Klinkhamer (1839) showing 

the cages with the animals, which had been bought from VanAken (q.v.) 

and also from Martin (q.v,). The third director was C, Kerbert (1849-1927); 

director 1890-1927, cf. Scheffer 1939, p. 116, 129, 140; Weber 1927, in: 

Vakbl. Biol. IX, p. 26; the fourth director was A.L.J. Sunier (up to 1953), 

the fifth one E.F. Jacobi (up to 1973) and the present director is B.M. Lensink.

From the beginning "Artis" showed different musea to the public: of stuffed 

mammals and birds in general, of skeletons, of insects, of Dutch animals and 

it started the new aquarium 1882, which partly belonged to the university 

(being greatly enriched by the travels of Weber, especially his Siboga expedition 

1899-1900, see Publ. of Results, and: A. Weber-van Bosse: Een jaar 

aan boord van H.M. Siboga) and partly to the zoological gardens. As director 

of the Zoological Museum Max Weber was succeeded by L,F, de Beaufort (1922). 

In 1938 the museum collections came to the University of Amsterdam to alleviate 

the Garden's finances. After the Beaufort's retirement (1949) he was 

succeeded by H. Engel who was in function till 1968 and who was succeeded as 

professor by J,H, Stock and as director by C.A.W. Jeekel. Some literature on 

these zoological collections may be cited: AKL 1853, II, p. 18, 2000 Coleoptera

The zoological-anatomical collections of the University started 1877 under 

W. Berlin (18.25-1902), who since 1864 was prof. anat., then prof. zoology 

(Gedenkboek Amsterdam 1932, p. 273-281). From the beginning there were good 

relations with the Zoological Gardens, the laboratories were build on its 

grounds. Under Max Weber the separation of taxonomical and anatomical collections 

took place; in 1923 the anatomy under C.Ph. Sluiter got a new building 

in the gardens (Gedenkboek Amsterdam 1932, p. 509-517; Verdoorn 1963, 

p. 45).

150. BLAUW JAN= Jan Barentszn Westerhof - born Oldenburg (Germany); left 

Amsterdam 1701 without drum or trumpet. 

Under this name was known during the 18th century a menagerie in an inn "de 

Hoop" at the Kloveniersburgwal, Amsterdam (now "Gebouw van de Werkende 

Stand"). It had been founded before 1698 by Jan Barentsz Westerhof (q.v.) 

and lasted till about 1784. Here, under different owners, all sorts of 

living animals from foreign countries could be admired, together with misforrned 

men and other curiosities, The library "Artis" contains a bound Ms. 

by Jan Velten, of about 1700, with pictures of the animals shown here and 

elsewhere. It mentions as the first owner Jan (Barentsz) Westerhof (or 

Westerhoft) or Jan Blauw or Blauw Jan (for details of his life c£. Van 

Eeghen 1962, p. 153, and for later owners esp. Evert Metz). A later occupant 

was Anthony Bergmeijer or Bergmeier (q.v.), see Van Eeghen 1962, p. 157 

(born 1706 or 1707 in Osnabruck) who furnished animals all over Europe (see 

also "Atlas Zeden en Gewoonten", Kon. Oudheidk. Gen. in Rijksmuseum 

Amsterdam, porte£. XXVIII B nr. 255, where Bergmeijer advertises the arrival 

of a young man without hands, also porte£. XXXIV, 2 March 1749 a young man 

of about 70 em long, 24 years old). An old engraving of the menagerie by 

Fritzsch in 1751 exists in two different editions (Witkamp 1875, p. 151- 

156; Idem 1888; Loisel 1912; Kerbert 1906). In the Arch. Not. arch. 6528 nr. 

410 an inventory is found made at the death of Evert Metz (q.v.), owner in 

1727. An engraving by Moucheron, belonging to the collection Dreesman, has

31 

been reproduced by H. Brugmans in his "Geschiedenis van Amsterdam" IV, p. 

779, and A. Bienfait in "Oud-Hollandsche Tuinen", p. 150, fig. 185, which 

resembles that in Velten's Ms., cf. F.W.H. Hollstein, 1949: Dutch and 

Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts, ca. 1450-1700, XIV, p. 94, nr.

important part of the collection is in the RMNH and a part is in the 

B.M. (N.H.) and in the Zool. Mus., Amsterdam (since 1930, by the agency of 

Mrs. Baronesse van Heerd-Bleeker). His private collection was sold 1 Dec, 

1879 at Leiden. "Catalogue des collections formees et laisees par M.P. Bleeker,

Bleeker and scientific notes are in the RMNH. Bleeker published 630 papers 

on a wide variety of subjects, including an odd 520 on ichthyology. The col-

32

supported its acquisition by the University. Later on the collection was divided 

into a zoological and a medical part. The zoological part became the 

basis for the Zoological Museum Utrecht. Bleuland published a description of 

his cabinet, containing 2,000 specimens in 1828: "Descriptio musei anatomici

founded on a collection given by Burgomaster Hasselaer of Amsterdam (q.v.), 

who got it from Governor Mossel (q.v.) from the East Indies, and on thecabinet 

of its Director, J,C,S. van Lennep (q.v.) (1776, see Muntendam 1938,

Vosmaer (1790) mentions the sale of his cabinet of anatomy at Amsterdam, but 

does not give further details, 

906, LEEUWENHOEK, Antoni van - 24 Oct, 1632 Delft - 26 Aug. 1723 Delft. 

Since 1648 shopkeeper at Amsterdam; 1653 or 1654 "handelaar in garen en

with an appointment as usher to the Alderman) of Delft; 1669 Surveyor to the 

Court of Holland, 1677 chief warden of Delft, 1679 "wijnroeier ende peilder" 

(inspector of weights and measures). His scientific life began about 1671. 

Leeuwenhoek \las no real collector, but he had a large collection of microscopes 

and microscopical preparations. His letters have been published in 

English (Philosophical Transactions, 1673-1724), in Dutch (1684-1718) and in

Latin (1685-1722) as enumerated in Clifford Dobell's: Antony van Leeuwenhoek 

and his "Little animals" (London-Amsterdam, 1932) (2nd edition: New York 

1958). Since 1939 a complete edition, The Collected Letters, is in progress 

under the auspices of the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences (up to now 11 

vols. have appeared). A. Schierbeek: Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. Zijn leven en 

zijn werken, 2 vols, (Lochem 1950-1951); a concise English version is: Measuring 

the invisible world: the life and works of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, 

F.R.S. (London-New York, 1959) (with a complete list of the many editions of 

Leeuwenhoek's works"as an appendix). Vander Aa XI, p. 280-283; NNBW VI,

remain. He is a figure in the "Anatomische Les" (Anatomy Lesson) of Dr. 

Cornelis 's-Gravensande, painted by Cornelis de Man in 1681, and now in the 

Old and New Hospital, Delft. In 1686 Johannes Verkolje made two portraits of 

him, one is a painting (now in Mus. Boerhaave), showing Leeuwenhoek and his 

diploma of fellowship of the Royal Society, the other is a mezzotint engraving 

of Leeuwenhoek holding one of his microscopes, Another engraving was 

made by Jan Goeree about 1707, showing Leeuwenhoek in his old age. 

907. LEIDEN - 

On the "Burcht" Jacobaeus (1910, p. 10) in 1650 saw all sorts of animals. 

See also Ferrner 1910, p. 462, who mentions a menagerie in 1759. (Rookmaaker 

1973, p. SO, 52, 55, 56; 1978, p. 17; P. Camper 1782). 

Wild animals were shown on the fair (Loisel 1912, II, p. 50), 

Living and stuffed animals were also kept during a certain time in the Botanical 

Garden of the University (Hunger 1927, p. 218, picture of Woudanus 

1610, and p. 247, 266, 268, 280, 282; 1942, p. 11). Brereton 1844, p. 42 (v.

1823, p. 161 (v. 1817); Anonyrnus 1819, p. 98 (v. 1819); Engel 1940, p. 204. 

The Botanical Garden was founded 1587. In 1600 the "Ambulacrum" was added. 

In 1685 and in 1736 the garden was enlarged, and again between 1816 and 

1818, according to the plan, developed by Brugmans. Linnaeus 1731: Bibliotheca, 

p. 71 seq.; Veendorp & Baas Becking 1938, p. 44, 66, 76, 111-112, 

122, 136, 138 and 166. 

The history of the zoological teaching has been written in 1926 by van der 

Klaauw. It seems unnecessary to repeat here all the catalogues of the two 

celebrated collections of natural history, the one in the Theatrum Anatomicum 

and the one in the gallery of the Botanical Gardens. Vosmaer 1790 mentions 

a catalogue (of sale?) of the Hortus collections, dated 1735. Cf. also 

van der Klaauw 1926, p. 39, note 3, about the catalogues of the Theatrum 

Anatomicum; and p. 3, note 7 on those of the cabinet of natural history. In 

the UBA there are many editons. Pallas 1766b, p. 56; 1767-1777, VII, p. 27;

Leiden University. He took part in a military and exploratory expedition to 

the Dutch settlements in Brasil under the leadership of Count Maurice of Nasau

During this expedition he explored such divers fields as zoology, botany, 

astronomy, cartography, meteorology and perhaps anthropology. He assembled 

zoological and botanical collections. Markgraf drew up the plans for a new 

town and its fortifications in the vicinity of the castle "Vrijburg" on the 

island of Antonio Vaz. In the park of Vrijburg castle was a botanical and 

zoological garden. He gave his collections and manuscripts into the keeping 

of Maurice of Nassau. Dried specimens of the plants introduced by Markgraf 

into the Vrijburg park are now in the Botanical Museum, Copenhagen. The "Li.ber 

principis", the collection of his watercolors, was in the Preussi.sche 

Staatsbibliothek, Berlin, until 1945. Many of his drawings and notes were 

added to Jan de Laet, ed.: Historiae naturalis Brasiliae (1648). The "De India

1023. MERIAN, Maria Sybilla - 12 April 1647 Frankfurt/Main (Germany) - 13 

Jan. 1717 Amsterdam. Paintress of insects, esp. caterpillars and butterflies. 

After a divorce in 1685 she joined the Labadists at Wiewerd (Prov. 

Friesland) and from 1691 onwards lived in Amsterdam, except the period 1699- 

1701, when she studied and painted plants and insects in Surinam. 

She was particularly interested in the metamorphosis of caterpillars, cf. 

her book: Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung und wunderbare Blumennahrung 

(Nurnberg 1679, Latin translation 1717, Amsterdam). About the Surinam i.nsects 

she published: Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium (Amsterdam 

1705), also translated in Dutch, German and French. Reprinted in Dutch: 

Utrecht, 1976 and Zutphen 1982. Also the wondrous transformation of caterpillars: 

50 engravings selected from Erucarum ortus (1718); repr. London 

1978. Through her daughter her inheritance came in Leningrad: from this much 

has been published, viz.: M.S. Merian 1974: Leningrader Aquarelle, 2 vols. 

ed. by E. Ullmann, a facsimile edition of the water-colour drawings bought 

by Czar Peter in 1717 after her death. As to her own collection, see p. 34, 

42-43, 44, 54, 80, 90, 104. From p. 46 it is clear that she sold animals and 

from some of the pictures can be concluded that she supplemented the missing 

plates for Rumphius' "Amboinsche Rariteitenkamer" (these Leningrad drawings 

proved to be the originals); it is also clear that she copied objects from 

Dutch cabinets. Another publication based on the Leningrad inheritance is:

1711-·1751, William V 1748-1806) were all more or less interested in animals. 

They possessed a menagerie or a cabinet and the officers of the East and 

West India Companies offered them the curious animals the ships brought to 

Holland. Well-known is the casuary presented to Prince Maurits in 1616, put 

up in the yard of count van Brederode, on the corner of the Toernooiveld and 

the Houtstraat at 1 s-Gravenhage (a slum nearby kept the name Kasuariestraat). 

It has been engraved by Chrispijn van den Queborn (Atlas van 

Stolk). In 1795 the French brought everything of importance to Paris. Boyer 

1971, p. 391-404; Postma 1961, p. 42, 116, 134: The later King William I saw 

1802 with Talleyrand in Paris many objects that had been stolen by the 

French. See also Rijksmuseum 1976, p. 10-15 seq.; Pennant 1948, p. 155 (v. 

17_65), p. 163. In 1.813, after the restoration of the Kingdom, King William I 

received back an adequate collection, which Brugmans (q.v.) selected in Paris. 

He gave his collections to Leiden University, where they formed the nucleus 

of the RMNH (see also Gijzen, p. 10, 23-28). The Antsterdam Zoological 

Gardens have enjoyed interest and protection of our Kings William I, II, 

III, and of Queen Wilhelmina. There is still a collection in the possession 

of the House of Orange and much information about the old ones can yet be 

found in the "Huisarchief". Brom 1.915, p. 126 (v. 1677-1678: while I have 

dealt with the menageries s.v. Honselaersdi.jk, Loo, Soestdijk, I here only 

mention the cabinet of shells of Prince Maurits); and the "Kabinet des Stadhouders'',

(1828-1849), 1836, p. 325; 1830, p. 410; 18lf9, p. 128. It was founded 

1756 (Argenville 1780, p. 338) by the widow of William IV, "Mevrouw de 

Gouvernante", who bought Vosmaer's cabinet and made him director of it. Later 

on the cabinet Lassara was bought. 1be cabinet was situated since Sept. 

1766 in the N.E. edge of the Buitenhof, opposite the Palace of the 

Stadholders (Die Haghe 1933, p. 54, seq., p. 122; Oud Holland 1892, X, note 

1, p. 224); Anonymus 1781, p. 109; Pieters 1980, p. 539-563). Vosmaer 1800, 

p. 34, nr. 153 mentions a catalogue, perhaps Ms., made 1778 for the Prince. 

As is well-known he described many animals in Vosmaer 1766-1804 of which 

many passed from the menagerie into the cabinet. He probably had a clerk at 

his disposition named G. C. Blanken, who figures as subscriber in a book of 

that time, Pallas often studied in the menagerie and in the cabinet; Pallas

Museum of natural history founded 1927 by F.A. des Tombes (1884-1926) and G. 

van Roon (1870-1928), located in a school-house. These collections were 

partly destroyed by fire in 1933; a new museum was founded in 1935, thanks 

to a legacy of Mr. N.J.A.C.A, Hoffmann. In his honour this museum was called 

the "Wethouder Hoffmann" museum of nat. hist. Beautiful collection of mammals 

and birds, incl. collection of eggs (a.o. of W. Hellebrekers, q.v.), 

bats (coll. Jos Cremers, q.v.), shells (coll. G. van Roon, q.v. ), butterflies 

(coll, E. J. Nieuwenhuis, q.v. and A.J. & J.G. Zollner, q.v.), Hymenoptera 

(coll. J. Lindemans, q.v.), holes, nests, etc, of various kinds of 

insects (coll. J.P. van Lith, q.v.), etc. This museum is now located in 

"Diergaarde Blijdorp". Lempke 1936, p. 245; Flower 1939, p. 280; J.G,B.

The cabinet of the "Erasmiaans Gymnasium" is worth mentioning, cf. A.B. van 

Deinse, in: NRC 3 Sept. 1939 (60 years anniversary). The original collection 

came from the taxidermist of mammals and birds and assistant of the school, 

Barend Strasters (30 March 1825 Leidschendam- after 1909 Rotterdam), son of 

a farmer. He also possessed a collection of butterflies. Later on this collection 

is greatly enlarged by A.B. van Deinse (q.v.). 

In Rotterdam is also a small zoo in "Plaswijckpark" (Hoogenhout 1978a, nr. 

230

1314. RUMPH IUS, George Everhard - Between 15 May and 7 July 1628 Han au 

(Germany) - 15 June 1702 Ambon (Indonesia), In 1652 he came in the service 

of the Dutch East India Company; 1657 Vice-merchant; 1672 Merchant. Since 

1670 he was blind. 

He did a systematic research of the flora and fauna of Ambon. His "Amboinsche 

Rariteitkamer" has been sent to d'Acquet (q,v.) in 1701. It was published 

1705 at Amsterdam, under the direction of Simon Schijnvoet (q.v.). A 

new editon appeared 1741. This work was especially important for owners of 

cabinets of shells, cf. Ullmann 1974: Maria Sybilla Merian, Leningrader 

Aquarelle, I, p. 46, 48-50, 59, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106, 134; I, pl. 13-24; 

II, pl. 88-129; this facsimile edition of the paintings bought by Czar Peter 

in 1717, proves that she had drawn many original plates from Dutch cabinets 

used in the "Amboinsche Rariteitkamer" of Rumphius 1705 and 1741, as had already 

been mentioned by Uffenbach; cf. also Rumphius Gedenkboek 1902, p. 11, 

167, 199. In "Artis" is a specimen of the "Rariteitkamer" from the possession 

of A. Vosmaer that has been, according to a note, coloured by Merian, in 

Ms. The "Amboinsche Dierboek" consisted of 3 books: Van Land- Lugt en Zeegedierte. 

1be manuscript has been lost, but the contents are probably in the 

3rd part of Valentijn's (q.v.) "Oud- en Nieuw Oost-Indil:!, the name of Rumphius 

is not mentioned, however. The "Herbarium Amboinense" has been edited 

after his death by Joh. Bunnan (1741-1750, in 6 vols.). The !'Is. is in the 

Univ. Library, Leiden. Rumphius also wrote "Amboinsche landbeschrijving" and 

"Amboinsche historie". These works were also used by Valentijn. Rumphius 

corresponded with many learned men, e.g. Herbert de Jager, Willem ten Rhijne, 

Joh, Camphuys, Andries Cleyer, etc. 'Ibe sale advertized in the Amsterdamsche 

Courant of 26 May 1714, which had to take place 4 June 1714 at Amsterdam, 

mentions shells and zoophytes from the coast of Ambon. A collection 

of shells and "rarities" of Rumphius has been in the possession of Cosimo 

III de Medici, Grand Duke of Tocane; this collection is now i.n the State Museum 

at Florence; cf, Le collezioni di G.E. Rumph acquisitate del Granduca 

Cosimo III de Medizi, una volta esistenti nel Museo di Fisica e Storia Naturale

131.8. RUYSCH, Frederik - 28 March 1638 1 s-Gravenhage - 22 Febr. 1731 Amsterdam. 

Apothecary, then physician at 1 s-Gravenhage. 1666 Praelector and 

1.668 Professor of anatomy for the surgeon 1 s guild at Amsterdam; 1672 city 

obstetrician till 171.2; 1685 Professor of botany at the Athenaeum Illustre 

and supervisor of the botanical garden. Ruysch was especially famous by his

235 

anatomical discoveries and his technique of conserving organs and entire 

corpses by means of injecting preserving fluids. 

He built up a large anatomical and zoological museum, containing many preparations, 

which became internationally famous and which was sold to Czar Peter 

in 1717 for Dfl. 30,000.--. It still exists rather complete in the Museum 

of the Academy of Sciences at Leningrad. See Not. Arch. 7598, Notary A. 

Tzeewen, 8 April 1717 and 17 April 1717. See also Not. Arch. 7649, 981 

Notary A. Tzeewen 28 Dec. 1730, sale of cabinet to King of England (!) for 

at least Dfl. 22,000.--. Within 10 years a second collection was brought together, 

which after his death was sold publicly. The greater part went to 

the King of Poland, John Sobieski, who payed Dfl. 20,000.-- for it and entrusted 

it to the Univ. of Wittenberg (Catalogue 1731, in UBA). Ruysch described 

his cabinets in: Museum anatomicum Ruyschianum (Amsterdam 1691, 1721, 

1737); Thesaurus anatomicus (10 vols., 1701-1715); Thesaurus animalium primus 

(Amsterdam 1728); Curae posteriores ••• 1724 and Curae renovata •• 1733.

Son of Jan Jacobsz. Swammerdam (q.v.). Being of a weak constitution he never 

practised as a physictan. He devoted himself wholly to scientific investigations, 

esp. on insects. 

Though he lived with his father, he possessed a cabinet of his own, with 

anatomical and entomological preparations. TI1e Grand Duke of Tuscany offered 

Dfl. 12,000.-- for it, if he himself followed thither, but Swammerdam re·· 

fused (1668). When later on (1675-1676) he hoped to led a life of quietud, 

he tried in vain to sell it. He had taken the resolution to sell his cabinet 

in May 1680, but he died in February. Boerhaave in his preface to the "Biblia 

Naturae" of Swamrnerdam (1737-1738, 2 vols,) says nothing about the cabinet. 

Heiress was Margarita Volckers, wife of Dr, Med, Daniel de Hoest, but 

Thevenot got the manuscripts. The catalogue of his cabinet was published as 

an addition to Thevenot' s "Recueil de Voyages" (Paris 1681); so it is not 

clear whether M. Volckers got the cabinet, moreover, his relation to her is 

not clear. Facsimile reprint of the catalogue, ed. by G.A. Lindeboom: Het

role in 18th century surgery at Rotterdam. It was inherited by his 

son Hendrik Vink (1740-1805) his successor as a Lecturer of anatomy an surgery 

in 1763. In 1850 the collection was totally revised, by forming a separate 

division for historical instruments and by classifying the remaining

1632. VOSMAER, Aernout - 23 Sept. 1720 Rotterdam - 15 Jan. 1799 's-Gravenhage. 

Businessman, from 1751 on living at 's-Gravenhage. He was Director of 

the menageries and of the "Natuur- en Kunstcabinetten des Stadhouders", 

which were founded by the widow of Prince William IV in 1756 after she had 

bought Vosmaer's own cabinet (see Oranje). It was continued under William V,

294 

who was much interested in it and made Vosmaer "Raad" (Councillor) between 

1778 and 1783. Vosmaer described many of the animals under his care in his 

work: Natuurkundige beschrijving eener uitmuntende Verzameling etc., Amsterdam 

1766-1804 (also in French edition). They were mostly founded on animals 

that had lived in the menageries (see het Loo), especially on "Ret Kleine 

Loo" near 's-Gravenhage. The honours gradually bestowed on the author show 

how his scientific importance increased. There can be found much more about 

Vosmaer in the Koninklijk Huisarchief and in the archives of the Vosmaer 

family at Leiden. Vosmaer often helped Meuschen (q.v.) in editing his catalogues 

(see nr. 3 Oudaan 1766, which contains a Systema testaceorum of his 

hand, p. 52, see alsop. 53-57); he edited parts III and IV of Seba's "Thesaurus" 

(1734-1765), as is certain through letters between Vosmaer and van 

Homrich in the family archives; the work of Renard: "Histoire des plus rares 

curiosites de la Mer des Indes, 1754, was edited through his care. The sale 

catalogue of his books, sold 17 March - 1 April 1800 in his house Hooge 

Nieuwstraat, shows us the richness of his library, see esp. p. 86, nr. 367, 

368 (earlier sales 1764 and 1765?), p. 88, nr. 388, p. 426, 427 (about his 

cabinets). The Ms. catalogue which Vosmaer made of the sales of cabinets in 

his time is in Boekh. Vosmaer was often visited (see Oranje), Ferrner 1910,
