Abstract
The pharmacist P. J. Kipp (1808-1864) and his instrument . The pharmacist Petrus Jacobus Kipp occupied an interesting place in the scientific life of the Dutch town Delft. Kipp is still known as the inventor of a compact and simple gas generator, which bears his name (1844). His busy activities in his pharmacy and his trade in scientific instruments were the reason that he had but few time for scientific work. He published a number of short communications about scientific instruments and he translated books of Carl Noback, Friedrich Wöhler, Carl Steinberg and Carl Friedrich Plattner. In this article a survey is given of the life and work of Kipp. In addition the trade in scientific instruments and the academic education in Delft are summarized.
