About author:
Caspar(us) Commelijn (1667 - 1731) was born in Amsterdam but educated at Leiden, where he wrote a dissertation on earthworms. Returning to his hometown, he was appointed botanist of Hortus Medicus, now the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, of which his uncle was co-founder. There he gave these Botanical Preludes as lectures (on the dates given in the title), which he then published as this collection of exotic plants held at the gardens.
