Kampfer, Engelbert. Born in 1651 atLemgo, Westphalia; travelled as a 

 physician in Persia (1683-1685), India, Java, Siam (1690), Japan (1690-1692) ; 

 graduated in 1694 at Leiden, and died in 1716 at Lemgo. His work, Amceni- 

 tatum exoticarum fasciculi v., Lemgo, 1712, was intended as a specimen of 

 more elaborate accounts of the various observations of the well-informed and 

 zealous author. But only a History and descri2)ti(yrt of Japan was published in 

 German in 1777, by Dohm at Lemgo. Kampfer's unpublished manuscripts 

 and collections were purchased, in 1753, by Sir Hans Sloane, for the British 

 Museum.
