Robert Fruin

Robert Jacob also Fruin Robert Jacobus Fruin ( born November 14, 1823 in Rotterdam, † January 29, 1899 in Leiden ) was a Dutch historian.

Life

Robert Jacob came from a Dutch family of pharmacists, which had its origin in England. His father was the pharmacist Robert Fruin ( born September 22, 1776 in Rotterdam, † January 23, 1845 ibid ) and his mother Elisabeth Maria Perk ( born January 26, 1794 in Rotterdam, † August 23, 1870 ibid ). In his native city he visited in 1837, the Erasmus High School and began in September 1842 at the University of Leiden to study the philosophical sciences. Here especially Willem Leonard Malone (1772-1852), Peter Hofman Peerlkamp, John Bake, Matthijs Siegenbeek, Johannes Matthias Schrant the Elder and Jacob Geel (1789-1862) were his formative teacher.

But above all it was the Leyden Museum Director Conrad Leemans (1829-1883) enthusiasm for historical studies. Initially he specialized in Egyptology and received his PhD in 1847 with the work of De Manethone Sebennyta librorumque from eo scriptorum reliquiis of Doctor of Philosophy. Thereafter he lived in Utrecht, where he continued at Cornelis Willem Opzoomer (1821-1892) dealt with the history of Greece, and Rome, and pursued the recent history of his country. He put prime importance to the events of the year 1848. 1849 he became a teacher of history at the Municipal Gymnasium in Leiden and made off with numerous publications a name. In 1851 he was here Member of the Society of Dutch literature in Leiden.

After he had been promoted in 1859 to Vice-Rector of Leyden High School, was taken on May 4, 1859 as a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences. On February 20, 1860 he was called Fruin professor of patriotic history at the University of Leiden. He accepted this task on 1 June 1860 geschiedschrijver with the inaugural De onpartijdigheid van. As such, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was 1877/78 Rector of the Alma Mater. This task he laid down with talk Over de plaats that inneemt de geschiedenis in the kring the wetenschappen. On 21 May 1894 he became Professor Emeritus, held on June 1, his farewell speech and adopted on 18 September 1894 in retirement.

He was one of the most influential Dutch historian in the second half of the 19th century, who attempted a requirement for impartiality and source orientation to establish. He corresponded in his attitude and demeanor but rather the liberal political views of his time, in the sense of Johan Rudolf Thorbecke.
