TRAVEL DIARY
His journal exists in a single manuscript copy in the
Danish Botanical Library. It is called Diarium Surinamicum, quod sub itinere exotico
conscripsit Daniel Rolander, tomus I & II. 1754-1756.
The Danish professor C. F.
Rottboell used some of Rolander's diary and herbarium
material as the basis for several botanical treatises
in the late 18th century. Rolander had sold the diary
and some of the herbarium to Rottboell and C.
Kratzenstein, a colleague of Rottboell. Besides
several selections limited to a few pages or passages,
the Diarium Surinamicum has never been published and
rarely been read for the last 240 years - despite its
marvelous content.
DIED
1793, Lund, Sweden.
