1604. VINK, Peter - 1713 Gorinchem - buried 10 Febr. 1773 Rotterdam (buried
again later on at Gorinchem). Dr. med., physician at Rotterdam. Succeeded
his uncle Willem Vink (ca. 1680-1763) as a Lecturer of anatomy and surgery
in 1747, at Rotterdam. He was propagator of French surgery in the Netherlands.
He possessed a fine collection of surgical instruments, that played an important
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
according to Malgaigne Is "Manuel de medecine operatoire" (1834). In 1857
this "Armamentarium chirurgico-obstetricum" was the richest collection of
surgical instruments in the Netherlands. An average number of 80 instruments
was lent out each month. The collection was re-organized in 1887; but it is
hardly been mentioned since then. Its definitive dissolution seems to have
been in 1900. P, Carner 1791: Naturgeschichte des Orang Utan, etc. (Dusseldorf),
