Adrian Beverland (1650 - 1716)
Dutch humanist scholar and collector-dealer of curiosities, especially prints and manuscripts. He studied philosophy and literature at the universities of Leiden, Franeker, and Utrecht, earning a doctorate in law from the latter. He visited Oxford in 1672, studying at the Bodleian Library, and was banished from Holland "a convicted immoral heretic" in 1679 for his scandalous libertine publications on human sexuality, settling permanently in England in 1680, where he joined his "good friend, the famous humanist Isaac Vossius" (Zelen, 20).
