...Charon was French and the great-uncle of Beaumarchais, who wrote The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro, while Kaempfer and Siebold were Germans, and Thunberg was a Swedish botanist who was a disciple of Linnaeus. Scholars who wrote about Japan without visiting it include the French Renaissance man G. Postel, the Dutch missionary Arnoldus Montanus (1625-83), who wrote The Journal of the East India Company's Mission to Japan (1669), and the aforementioned Charlevoix. JJ Hoffmann, who served as Siebold's assistant, became a professor at Leiden University in 1835, and published in Paris and Turin the Thousand Character Classic in 1840, a Dutch translation of Asano Takazo's Wakan Nenkei in 1842, and a French translation of Uegaki Morikuni's Yosan Hiroku in 1848. He also published Japanese Grammar in 1867, making great contributions to Japanese studies. However, like August Pfizmaier (1808-1887), who translated Ryutei Tanehiko's Ukiyo-gata Roppai Byobu in 1848, published Man'yo Kenkyu (Man'yo Studies) in 1872, and became a member of the Austrian Academy in 1878, he never visited Japan.
