Album Amicorum of Jacob Heyblocq

Album Amicorum of Jacob Heyblocq

Amsterdam (Netherlands) — 1645–1678

  1. Jacob Heyblocq (1623–1690) was a Dutch poet and headmaster of the Latin school in Amsterdam

  2. He started compiling his album amicorum in 1645 while studying theology in Leiden

  3. On the very first page, Heyblocq announces that he will bring together contributions from the most brilliant thinkers of his time
