The Correspondence of Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt - DWC - KNAW

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I want to express my sincere feelings of recognition to all those who have been
of great help to me. The completion of this project has among others been made
possible by the financial support of the “Netherlands Organization for Scientific
Research” (NOW, The Hague) and by the grants given to me by the late Professor
emeritus Antonie M. Luyendijk-Elshout and the SiegenbeekVan Heukelom Fund
(Leyden). I also owe much gratitude to the ‘Noord-Hollands Archief’(Haarlem), to
the ‘Nationaal Archief’ (The Hague), the ‘Koninklijke Bibliotheek’ (The Hague), to
the library of Leyden University (especially to the employees of the‘Doesa-kamer’).
I also want to express these feelings to the librarian of the ‘Boerhaave Museum’
(Leyden), to the employees of ‘Naturalis’ (Leyden) to and Utrecht University. As
this project has not only been carried out in the Netherlands but also abroad, I also
want to express my feelings of gratitude towards the ‘Bibliothèque Nationale de
France (Paris) and the ‘Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle’ (Paris).
Finally I want to thank Professor Harm Beukers (Scaliger Professor, Leyden)
and Professor emeritus Rob Visser (Doorn) for their valuable advice.
