 After Rémusat's death, Julius Klaproth (1783–1835) at the "Institut Royal" in Paris was free in 1832 to publish his edited version of Titsingh's translation.Isaac Titsingh can be described as being the only philosopher employed by the VOC in its almost two hundred years existence and the most sophisticated of all VOC employees in the trading post history of the VOC in Japan (1600–1853).Due to his extensive private correspondence on religious as well as human topics and his endeavours in the exchanges between the outside world and his own, he can be considered as a true philosopher of the 18th century.
