Biography

Born in Leiden, he studied Arabic at its university. He wrote the Dictionnaire détaillé des noms des vêtements chez les Arabes (Amsterdam 1845), completed Engelmann's glossary of Spanish and Portuguese words of Arabic origin (Leiden 1869), and compiled the Supplément aux dictionnaires arabes (Leiden 1877–1881), gathering words and senses the Arabic dictionaries had missed.
