Jeanne Wyttenbach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeanne Wyttenbach-Gallien (December 29, 1773 – April 27, 1830), also known as Daniel Jeanne Gallien, was a Dutch philosopher and novelist.[1]
Born in Hanau, Germany, Jeanne Gallien was a daughter of Susanne Katharina Wyttenbach and engraver Louis Jean Gallien who founded and taught at the Hanau Drawing Academy. In 1792, Gallien went to Amsterdam to take care of her uncle, Daniel Wyttenbach Jr, professor of history and rhetoric and of Greek and Latin literature at Athenaeum Illustre. In 1799, both of them moved to Leiden when her uncle was appointed professor and librarian at Leiden University. That is where Gallien studied Classics and philosophy while helping her uncle with his work at the library.[1]
