Transcription

De Spanheim asks to borrow more of Sloane’s books. Ezechiel de Spanheim (1629-1710) was born in Geneva and studied at the University of Leyden. He became Professor of Rhetoric in Geneva in 1650. He tutored Charles I Louis, Elector of Palatine’s son and became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1679. As a diplomat he represented German states in Paris and London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel,_Freiherr_von_Spanheim).
