Abstract
The article brings to life the now forgotten Deusing, a protégé of Golius
in 1630s in Leiden who made substantial contributions to the study of
oriental languages in Western Europe. He was influential in putting together
the expanded edition of Erpenius’s Arabic grammar and the publication
of the first Persian grammar in Europe. Yet his most enduring
and profound legacy lies in the Turkish and Persian dictionaries he compiled,
which, this piece argues, formed the basis of Golius’s dictionaries.
