Or. 14278 Henricus Sike (?), Miscellaneous notes mainly on the classics and the Arabic and Hebrew languages. Binding : Vellum on cardboard; on spine : Inscriptiones Arabicce. Paper, 256 fols., 305 X 200. Many of the notes in this commonplace-book are signed H. S., which may lead to the assumption that their author was Henricus Sike. The modest beginnings of a comparative Arabic - Hebrew dictionary appear on fols. 145 - 220, many of which are blank. On the author who was bom in Bremen and died as a Cambridge professor in 1712 see J. Nat, De studie van de oostersche talen in Nederland in de 18de en 19de eeuw (Purmerend 1929) pp. 12, 16.
