23 September 1949

Born in 1949, I attended highschool in Amsterdam (Waterlant-College) before enrolling, in 1966, at Free University (Amsterdam) as a student of chemistry and history of science. In 1976 I passed the "doctoraalexamen" (MSc) in both fields and turned to the history of science for a PhD, since 1980, under the aegis of the Centre Alexandre Koyré of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales of Paris. In December 1983 I passed the PhD under René Taton as formal 'directeur de thèse' (with Reijer Hooykaas), thanks to a research grant of the French Government. The dissertation covered the history
