Description “Between 1694 and 1703, the Leiden instrument maker Johan Joosten van Musschenbroek sold some sixty physical, optical, anatomical and medical instruments to professor Johann Daniel Dorstenius at Marburg University, Germany. Dorstenius bought these on his own initiative and out of his own pocket. With his lectures he introduced experimental physics to Marburg. The instruments themselves have been lost, but the documents received by Dorstenius survive. This article serves to present and discuss these previously unpublished documents, which include letters, invoices, instructions for use and the earliest instrument-makers' trade catalogue. These documents contain unique information on the repertoire and the business organization of the Musschenbroek workshop with its close connections with the progressive University of Leiden.”
