Abstract
We do not know by which way Stensen travelled from Holland to Florence. He may have arrived at the town on the Arno at the turn of the year 1674/1675 and, as educator of the Crown Prince, may have been attributed well-furnished lodging in the Palazzo Pitti. Teaching soon began, since Stensen excuses himself to Viviani for not having visited him yet and he adds: “I have the instruction to begin tomorrow at 18 o’clock my service to his Serene Highness, the Prince. Wish me all the best and pray for me so that I accomplish what God has called me for in this position.”
