In 1815, a commission of Dutch professors was installed to produce a pharmacopoea that would render all earlier pharmacopoeias obsolete. One of the members was Van Maanen, who authenticated the copies with his signature. After the secession of Belgium, this publication formed the basis for the Pharmacopea Neerlandica of 1851 and the Pharmacopoeia Belgica Nova of 1854.
