Dutch writer and bookseller From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cornelis van der Aa (Leiden, 22 October 1749 – Amsterdam, 1816) was a bookseller in Haarlem when he was sentenced in 1796 by the schepenen of the city to five years of imprisonment and consecutive perpetual exile from the department in Holland for political reasons as he was a follower of the stadtholders. At the end of 1799, he was released and settled in Utrecht as a bookseller. From then on until his death in 1816 in Amsterdam, where he moved to later on, he spent his time writing books.
