contents: From 1708, Samuel Luchtmans managed the printing company his father had established in 1683. Initially he did so as the representative of his mother, but after her death in 1710 he conducted the business independently. In 1730, Samuel was appointed town and university printer. He also held the rank of master of the guild several times. He substantially extended the company, built up a good reputation abroad with his publications and maintained contacts with scholars throughout Europe. Samuel was married to his niece Cornelia van Musschenbroek who gave him nine children. He was succeeded by his sons Samuel (II) and Johannes.
