K. ten (Karel) Bruggencate

Karel ten Bruggencate was a Dutch educator and lexicographer, born in Almelo on November 28, 1849, and died in Zeist on December 23, 1922. He is chiefly remembered as the compiler of an influential English-Dutch and Dutch-English dictionary, originally published by J.B. Wolters.

Sources available here describe him as both a schoolman and a dictionary writer. His Engelsch woordenboek became well known in the Netherlands and helped establish a reference tradition that continued long after his lifetime.

Although detailed biographical information is limited in the materials I could confirm, his lasting reputation rests on careful language work: making English more accessible to Dutch readers, students, and teachers through a practical, widely used dictionary.
