1719, in Latin and in French. In 1705 the collection was transported to

Petronella du Burgoy, who in 1728 married with Jan Bernard van der
Marek, bailiff of Warmond. She kept managing the collection. In 1730 she
showed the collection to Gersaint. During the time of Lyonet (1706-1789) the
collection was in the possession of P. Bout (q.v.). Vosmaer made the catalogue
for Bout (according to a note by Vosmaer himself in a copy of Rumphius'
"Rariteitkamer", in the Artis library) (La Haye 1726). When Bout died
in 1779 the collection was sold and dispersed. Bowrey 1927 (v. 15 June
