Anne J. Kox was trained as a theoretical physicist and obtained a doctorate from the University of Amsterdam. After ten years of research in theoretical physics, he switched to the field of history of science. In his research he has focused on the history of modern physics, in particular in the Netherlands. For thirty years, he has been one of the editors of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. He also edited the two-volume edition of the scientific correspondence of Hendrik Antoon Lorentz. At the University of Amsterdam, he is now Pieter Zeeman Professor of History of Physics, Emeritus. Henriette F. Schatz holds a Master's Degree in translation and interpretation from the University of Amsterdam and a Doctorate in Linguistics from Georgetown University, Washington DC. She has been active as an interpreter, translator, and editor since the early nineteen sixties. After writing a doctoral dissertation on the city dialect of Amsterdam, she worked in sociolinguistic research, both in the United States and in the Netherlands. After some ten years of research, she moved on to international management consulting. In recent years she has focused again on editing and translating mainly scientific texts, such as the letters by Dutch correspondents in the scientific correspondence of Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, edited by A.J. Kox.
