    Initiator Erik Jansen of Probos knows from a book by Paulus Nijhoff from 1820 about the existence of the original stone. It contained a Latin poem by the Amsterdammer Jeronimo de Bosch (1740-1811). He was a prominent poet at the time.
    Jansen has discovered that the original stone was made by order of Cornelis Munter. He owned the De Beken estate, as the area was then called. Jansen suspects on the basis of the lines of poetry that the stone was made to commemorate De Munter's sister, who died in 1803. According to him, it was also made especially for this place.
    The replica that is now installed weighs 1380 kilograms. The text is placed on an aluminum plate. Bronze or copper is too sensitive to theft.

      The poem stone in the Vriendschapsbosje is mentioned by Nijhoff in his walking book from 1820. The stone contained a poem in Latin about friendship by the famous Dutch poet Jeronimo de Bosch. Based on this information and additional research, a 'free' replica of the poem stone was made.
