Although the title suggests that this is a publication of a scholarly society, it was in fact a publication of the Rijksuniversiteit Leiden. Although it is not, strictly speaking, an independent journal, we have placed it in this category for convenience. NOTE: The Latin name for the city Leiden (Leyden) in the Netherlands is Lugduni Batavorum.

The catalogue record in the Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB) indicates that this title merged with similar publications from Utrecht and Gronigen to form Annales academici [1837/38(1840) - 1874/75(1877)].
