Hermanus Angelkot

Hermanus Angelkot may be:


 * Hermanus Angelkot junior. (Born 1688, died 1727) - an Amsterdam pharmacist who also wrote poems and plays.


 * Hermanus Angelkot senior. (Born 1648, died ca.  1713) was his father; the sources are not entirely clear over which was which, but both wrote.

Angelkot jr. was friendly with Pieter Langendijk who, when he was the first to translate Molière into Dutch, he named 'the Dutch Molière'. Together they wrote "Cato, of de ondergang der Roomsche vryheid" (1715), based on Joseph Addison's "Cato" (1713), dedicating it to the then mayor of Amsterdam, Nicolaes Witsen.
