Biography:
Wealthy landowner, lower nobility, catholic. Born in Middelburg, moved to Leiden in ca. 1580, died there in 1614. Married to Aeghte van Beaumont. Was buried in the Pieterskerk, Leiden.

He visited the Southern Netherlands frequently. Met Clusius there in the 1560's, in Malines, most likely after Clusius' return from Spain (or did they not meet then, see letter 1583). He corresponded since then with him. The main topic of their letters: gardens

He was very deaf, i.e. could hear hardly any sounds at all. He writes (perhaps for this reason), extremely long letters in a minuscule hand. Rather a grumpy type (complains a lot about people)

Mentions in his letters as relevant persons: his own brother, his brother in law in Antwerp, Hendrik van Liesveld, burger van Antwerpen, Plantijn, Claude de Vixque burger van Doornik, Paludanus, Batthyany, Porret, Cluyt, Roelsius, Lobel, Hans Hueninck jeweller in Antwerp, Lipsius and his wife, Monsr Van der Aa, Scholerius, the merchant Wessemius, Raphelengius, Janus Dousa and wife, Monsr Dassouleville, the merchant Michiel Michielsz, Hendrik van Opmeer (delivering letters), Heurnius, Marnix van Sint Aldegonde, Marie de Brimeu princess of Chimay, madame de Brederode, Jacques Cool in London, Bredius, nobleman Munchoven, dr Felix Basilea (Platter??), Paauw / Paaw, monsr de Merode, Willem van Mera from The Hague, Balthasar Hoeijkens, Nicolas Mulerius, Jan van Hout wife and daughter, Monsr Aerssen, madame Waerdenburch, wife of D. de Tempels in Brussels, Mnsr Boisot, Walychius Syvertsz in Amsterdam

He shared a botanical interest with Clusius.

Exchanged plants, bulbs, tubers and seeds. Functioned as a go-between for the Curators of Leiden University.

Writes two poems for Rariorum Plantarum Historia, one about the illustrations in his work.

Biography:
Spectacle maker in Middelburg (Kapoenstraat). In 1608 he applied for a patent for 'a certain instrument for seeing far' (a spyglass), but the States General in The Hague didn't grant him this patent, because some others also knew the secret how to make these instruments. Eventually Lipperhey was commissioned by the Staten Generaal to make three binocular telescopes.

Claimed to be the inventor of the telescope, can be considered as the inventor of the binocular.

Biography:
Clock maker from Maastricht. He moved to The Hague in 1675 (first at Het Plein and from 1703 at the Lange Pooten), where he started to make and sell timepieces. Between 1677 and 1684 he worked with Christiaan and Constantijn Huygens, for whom he made a planetarium and some sea clocks (ca. 1682-1684). Several clock makers were apprenticed to Van Ceulen (such as Van der Slot and Mulder), which resulted in a large productivity. Van Ceulen was a warden (1688) and later master of the The Hague clockmakers guild.
