He was born in 1638, not 1683 …

Comment on Farewell Antoni… by Anne McKnight

I’m sad to see you ending this blog. When I visited Delft, like you, I was astounded at the lack of attention to such an outstanding pioneer of microscopy and biology. Thank you so much for the links you’ve provided to other excellent Leeuwenhoek sites.

Comment on The Leeuwenhoek ‘Museum’ by Anne McKnight

YES! I was just there at the end of July, happy to find the Oulde Kerk display but so sad that there wasn’t a museum and signs chronicling his life in the way Vermeer’s is. This is one of the most important people in the history of science and technology!

Comment on Why Leeuwenhoek? by Adrian Thysse

Google translation:

Finally, I found your site. Thanks to you, I have a very beautiful image of the painting by Cornelis de Man.

In France, it was published in 1994 a beautiful book about Antoni:

Antoni van Leeuwenkoek – Exercise of sight
by Philippe Boutibonnes
Publisher: BELIN

Philippe Boutibonnes was Professor of Microbiology at the University of Caen. There are many photographic reproductions in black and white unfortunately.

I like him, Professor of Microbiology at the “Catholic University of Lille. Retired, I always ask myself the question: Why did it take until 1863 – and Shepherd – to put an end to the doctrine of spontaneous generation?

Again, thank you!

You’re welcome!

Enfin, j’ai retrouvé votre site. Grâce à vous, j’ai une très belle image de la peinture de Cornelis de Man.

En France, il est paru en 1994 un très beau livre consacré à Antoni :

Antoni van Leeuwenkoek – L’exercice du regard
par Philippe Boutibonnes
Éditeur : BELIN

Philippe Boutibonnes était Professeur de Microbiologie à l’université de Caen. Il y a beaucoup de reproductions photographiques, hélas en noir et blanc.

J’étais, comme lui, Pr de Microbiologie à l”université catholique de Lille. Retraité, je me pose toujours la question : Pourquoi a-t-il fallu attendre 1863 – et Pasteur – pour mettre un terme à la doctrine des générations spontanées ?

Encore merci !
