Zegels van de Universiteit van Leiden, met namen van de hoogleraren en het wapen van de universiteit 1685 - 1720

This anonymous print from 1685-1720 depicts two circular seals of the University of Leiden. The seals are both surrounded by concentric circles, the innermost circles are inscribed with the names of the professors, the middle circles hold the university’s mottoes, and the outermost circles display the dates of the professors’ tenure. The top seal features a female figure, the embodiment of the university, holding a spear and a book while the lower seal showcases a lion, a symbol of strength, holding a sword and a shield. The seals are a testament to the university’s rich history and provide a glimpse into the lives and works of its notable scholars.
