Transcription

Hotton will send a catalogue of recently published books on 11 November. He has received new works by Giovanni Battista Trionfetti, but has not had time to look at them yet. Peter Hotton (1648-1709), also known as Petrus Houttuyn, was Professor of Botany and Medicine at Leiden University. He supervised the university’s botanic gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Houttuyn).
