O. TEN HAVE (1899–1974)

Onko ten Have's contribution to the literature on accounting history is especially important because of the otherwise scant coverage of the accounting development in the Low Countries during the 17th and 18th centuries. Other writings of this little-known Dutch author include a study of the life and work of Stevin and essays on general history of accounting. Ten Have's writings reflect his strong interests in economics, statistics, and related fields. He deserves to be ranked with the leading Continental accounting historians of his time.
