Christianus Carolus Henricus van der Aa (25 August 1718 – 23 September 1793) was a Lutheran pastor in Haarlem and secretary of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities.
Life[]
Christianus Carolus Henricus was born in Zwolle, where his father Balduinus also worked as a pastor.
He studied theology first in Leiden, and later in Jena. On 22 March 1739 he became a Lutheran pastor in Alkmaar, then on August 12, 1742 become a preacher in Haarlem (he had previously been twice, thanks to a job in Gouda).
In Haarlem, at the creation of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities in 1752, where he would play a major role, he was appointed as secretary. Thanks to this he entered into two equally honourable positions, namely at The Hague in 1755 and later in Batavia, Dutch East Indies. He died in the night from 22–23 September 1793 in Haarlem.
Several of his sermons have appeared in print.
