Studium Scientiarum Genetrix

Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1773 According to Jacob & Mijnhardt (1992), p.261, this Society was founded in 1773 in Rotterdam. NOTE: the authors consistently give the name as Studium Scientiarum Genitrix (notice the fourth letter in the third word).
According to Jacob & Mijnhardt (1992), pp.260 - 267, this society was one of four major literary societies, of which the others were based in Leiden (Kunst Wordt door Arbeid Verkreegen = Art is Won by Labour, founded in 1766), and The Hague (Kunstliefde Spaart geen Vlijt = Love of Art Spares no Diligence, founded in 1772), and Amsterdam (Amsteldamsche Dicht- en Letteroefenend Genootschap: Wij Streeven naar Volmaaktheid = Amsterdam Society for Poetry and Literature: We Strive for Perfection, founded in 1783).
On pp.266-267 of Jacob & Mijnhardt (1992), we learn that this Society from Rotterdam and the two societies from Leiden and Amsterdam amalgamated in 1800 as the Bataafsche Maatschappij van Taal- en Dichtkunde = Batavian Society for Language and Literature. We also learn that in 1806, the Society was renamed Hollandsche Maatschappij van Fraaije Kunsten en Wetenschappen = Holland Society for Liberal Arts and Sciences, and in 1818 the society from The Hague joined them.
