Why Is Abraham Munting Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Abraham Munting was a Dutch botanist and botanical artist, the son of Henricus Munting . He studied under his father and at the universities of Franeker, Utrecht and Leiden, also spending two years in France where he obtained an M.D. degree in Angers. Returning to Groningen in 1651, he joined the staff at the Rijkshogeschool Groningen, which eventually became the University of Groningen. Here he taught for 24 years as professor of botany and chemistry. On his father's death he assumed management of the Hortus Botanicus Groninganus, a botanical garden, from 1658 to 1683. His botanist friends sent him seeds from the Dutch East- and West Indies, Africa and the Americas. His daughter, Hester, died after eating Deadly Nightshade from the garden. Munting subsequently developed a particular interest in the medicinal uses of plants.
