Achtergrondinformatie
Among the foreigners who came to Leiden to consult Boerhaave was the Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus. During his stay in the Netherlands from 1735 to 1738 he laid the foundation of his system of classification of the three natural kingdoms. In Leiden he was given great support by Boerhaave and published his celebrated Systema Naturae.
