About Johann Bachstrom

  • Jan Fryderyk or Johann Friedrich Bachstrom (24 December 1688, near Rawitsch, now Rawicz, Poland - June 1742, Nieswiez, now Nyasvizh, Belarus) was a writer, scientist and Lutheran theologian who spent the last decade of his life in Leiden.
  • His surname is sometimes spelt Bachstroem or Bachstrohm.
  • He mostly wrote in Latin, German, and French (with his given names adjusted to Joannis Friderici and Jean-Frédéric as appropriate), while in English biographies he can appear as John Frederic Bachstrom.
  • Since he is best known for his publications while he was in the Netherlands, he is often mistakenly described as a Dutch physician and writer.
