The Leiden papyrus collections starts in 1818, when Reuvens buys the egyptological collection of J.-B. de Lescluze, who had acquired it himself through Anastasi. This collections contained 3 hieratic funerary papyri. Other funerary papyri were acquired in 1827-1828, when the collections of Anastasis himself was acquired, including more than 80 papyri (inventarised as AMS). Reuvens also bought papyri from the Salt collection. Between 1843 and 1885 Reuvens' successor Leemans published already two volumes with Leiden papyri. J.H.Insinger, who lived in Luxor, bought mostly Coptic papyri, but also the famous demotic wisdom text, now called after him.
