Gerard Croese

Gerard Croese (26 April 1642, Amsterdam – 10 May 1710, Dordrecht) was a Dutch Reformed minister and author.

He is now remembered as an early historian of the Society of Friends, with his Historia Quakeriana (1695).

It is considered sympathetic, in general terms, but neither uncritical nor entirely reliable.

After university he spent time in Smyrna, and visited England.

He settled as a minister at Alblas, near Dordrecht.
