The Dutch in the Early Modern World David Onnekink , Gijs Rommelse Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-12581-0 — The Dutch in the Early Modern World David Onnekink , Gijs Rommelse Frontmatter More Information The Dutch in the Early Modern World Emerging at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic rose to become a powerhouse of economic growth, artistic creativity, military innovation, religious tolerance and intellectual development. This is the first textbook to present this period of early modern Dutch history in a global context. It makes an active use of illustrations, objects, personal stories and anecdotes to present a lively overview of Dutch global history that is solidly grounded in sources and literature. Focusing on themes that resonate with contemporary concerns, such as overseas exploration, war, slavery, migration, identity and racism, this volume charts the multiple ways in which the Dutch were connected with the outside world. It serves as an engaging and accessible intro- duction to Dutch history, as well as a case study in early modern global expansion. david onnekink is Assistant Professor in Early Modern International Relations at Utrecht University. He has previously held a position at Leiden University, and was a visiting professor at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He has been a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities at Edinburgh (2004), Het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam (2016–2017) and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (2016). He is the author of Reinterpreting the Dutch Forty Years War (2016), and edited volumes on War and Religion after Westphalia, 1648–1713 (2009) and Ideology and Foreign Policy in Early Modern Europe (1650–1750) (2011), also with Gijs Rommelse. -

A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto 2018 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Righteous Citizens: The Lynching of Johan and Cornelis DeWitt, The Hague, Collective Violence, and the Myth of Tolerance in the Dutch Golden Age, 1650-1672 by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor Margaret C Jacob, Chair In The Hague, on August 20 th , 1672, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, Johan DeWitt and his brother Cornelis DeWitt were publicly killed, their bodies mutilated and hanged by the populace of the city. This dissertation argues that this massacre remains such an unique event in Dutch history, that it needs thorough investigation. Historians have focused on short-term political causes for the eruption of violence on the brothers’ fatal day. This work contributes to the existing historiography by uncovering more long-term political and social undercurrents in Dutch society. In doing so, issues that may have been overlooked previously are taken into consideration as well. -

Latin and the Vernacular Between Humanism and Calvinism. the Leiden University Discourse and the Crisis of 1618
Latin and the Vernacular between Humanism and Calvinism. The Leiden University Discourse and the Crisis of 1618 David Kromhout 1 A Reader Twice Addressed? In 1618 the Dutch lawyer and entrepreneur Jacob Cats (1577–1660) published his remarkable collection of emblems, Proteus, sive Silenus Alcibiades.1 The book was an immediate success and was reprinted numerous times during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Its structure was tripartite, each part related to the same set of engravings, but with texts from different angles. The first part was addressed to the youth and contained poems pertaining to the nature of love. The second part presented a general moralistic interpretation of the same engravings, and the third an outright Calvinistic one. Later edi- tions would rearrange the poems and the work would become famous under its Dutch title: Sinne- en minnebeelden (Book of Moral and Love Emblems). The book features two introductions, one in Latin and the other one in Dutch. The introductions both contain Cats’s general pedagogical program, namely that he tries to seduce the youth into reading his book, first by way of an attractive frontispiece, secondly by means of the beautiful engravings and the sweet sub- ject of love. Cats assumes that once the youth has started reading and appreci- ating the first part of the book, they will continue reading, eager to learn more about Cats’s moral lessons. A cursory comparison of the two introductions to Cats’s Sinne- en minne- beelden may lead the reader to conclude that the Dutch introduction, follow- ing the Latin, is a literal translation of the Latin. -

Drie Afgedankte Geveltekens Aan De Neude
Drie afgedankte geveltekens aan de Neude. Maria de Bruijn, 2019 Op woensdag 19 september 1979 neemt burgemeester H.J.L Vonhoff een monumentaal cadeau voor de stad Utrecht in ontvangst van de directie van het toen nieuwe ABN gebouw aan de Neude. Het betreft drie koperen reliëfs van de hand van Pieter d’Hont en Arie Teeuwisse met als onderwerp De Unie van Utrecht, die vierhonderd jaar geleden, in 1579 tot stand kwam. Op het middenpaneel, gemaakt door Arie Teeuwisse zijn afgebeeld: Jan de Oude van Nassau, de stadhouder van Gelre, te paard, Floris Thin, pensionaris en landsadvocaat van Utrecht met het ontwerp voor de Unie in de hand en achter hem Paulus Buys, pensionaris en landsadvocaat van Holland. Zij staan binnen de muren van de stad, waarop het wapen van Utrecht en van Jan van Nassau zijn aangebracht met links en rechts de jaartallen 1579 en 1979. De beide zijpanelen zijn gemaakt door Pieter d’Hont en verbeelden een venster naar het verleden: een schrijvende man met ganzenveer, en een venster naar de toekomst: een man die in de verte staart. De drie koperen reliëfs worden na de officiële in ontvangstneming aan de gevel van het ABN gebouw geplaatst. Helaas zijn deze drie zo belangwekkende gevelstenen van de gevel verwijderd toen in 2016 in het bankgebouw een stayokay werd gevestigd. Op de vraag van het bestuur van het Utrechts Gevelteken Fonds of het mogelijk zou zijn de reliëfs terug te plaatsen, kreeg het te horen dat zij niet passen bij de uitstraling van het stayokay hostel. De reliëfs zijn momenteel opgeslagen in de kelder; één is er gebroken. -

Heerloese Knechten’: Unemployed Soldiers As a Security Threat in the Sixteenth-Century Netherlands
Early Modern Low Countries 4 (2020) 1, pp. 58-81 - eISSN: 2543-1587 58 ‘Heerloese knechten’: Unemployed Soldiers as a Security Threat in the Sixteenth-Century Netherlands Erik Swart Erik Swart completed his PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 2006. He subsequently lectured at that university and at Utrecht University. In 2007-2008 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Antwerp University. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Justus- Liebig-University in Giessen within the dfg Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 138 ‘Dynamics of Security. Types of Securitization from a Historical Perspective’. His main interest is in the history of the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Netherlands from a comparative and international perspective. Among his recent publications is ‘Defeat, honour and the news. The case of Breda (1625) and the Dutch Republic’, European History Quarterly 46 (2016) 6-26. Abstract The sixteenth century saw increasing problems with disbanded, unemployed soldiers (‘heerloese knechten’) in Europe. In the Holy Roman Empire they had by the middle of the century come to be regarded as the primary threat to the Eternal Public Peace (Landfrieden). This article looks at why and how unemployed soldiers became a security threat in the sixteenth-century Netherlands. It does so by analysing the developing dis- course on this topic and the measures taken to combat the threat in comparison with the Empire. In practice both the Netherlands and the Empire developed a collective secu- rity regime, which depended on cooperation to maintain the peace against threats like unemployed soldiers. There is, however, no contradiction here with rulers extending their grip on their territories. -
'Dimittimini, Exite'
Seite 1 von 13 ‘Dimittimini, exite’ Debating Civil and Ecclesiastical Power in the Dutch Republic 1. Dordrecht, Monday 14 January 1619. ‘You are cast away, go! You have started with lies, you have ended with lies. Dimittimini, exite’. The end was bitter and dramatic. The chairman of the Synod of Dort, Johannes Bogerman, lost his patience. Roaring, as some reports put it, he ordered Simon Episcopius, who had just, in equally outspoken terms, accused Bogerman of committing acts of slavery, to leave. Episcopius and his fellow Arminians left. As usual the two great --indeed massive-- seventeenth century accounts of the Synod, those of Johannes Uytenbogaert on the Arminian and of Jacobus Trigland on the orthodox Calvinist side, differ strongly in their account and appreciation of what happened at the Synod of Dort1. But they agreed Dort marked a schism; Dutch Reformed Protestantism had split apart. In almost all 57 fateful sessions of the synod which had started on 13 November 1618 the debate had been bitter, though invariably participants asked for moderation, temperance and sobriety. The Synod vacillated between the bitterness of intense theological dispute and a longing for religious peace, between the relentless quest for truth and the thirst for toleration. For over ten years Dutch Reformed Protestants had been arguing, with increasing intensity and rancour. Divisions and issues were manifold with those, such as Simon 1 See Johannes Uytenbogaert, Kerckelicke Historie, Rotterdam, 1647, pp. 1135-1136 and Jacobus Trigland, Kerckelycke Geschiedenissen, begrypende de swaere en Bekommerlijcke Geschillen, in de Vereenigde Nederlanden voorgevallen met derselver Beslissinge, Leiden, 1650, p 1137. -

Jasper Van Der Steen in 1609, Spain and the Dutch Repu
CHAPTER TWO A CONTESTED PAST. MEMORY WARS DURING THE TWELVE YEARS TRUCE (1609–21)* Jasper van der Steen In 1609, Spain and the Dutch Republic signed a Twelve Years Truce after waging war for more than forty years. In the running up to and during the ceasefire, the highest military commander Prince Maurice as well as orthodox Calvinists actively opposed efforts to forge a lasting peace. This anti-peace lobby tried to convince government authorities, and the peo- ple of the Netherlands in general, that the Spanish had a track record of not keeping their word and that they could, therefore, not be trusted. To substantiate their claim of Spanish unreliability, anti-peace propa- gandists reduced the history of the Revolt against the Habsburg overlord Philip II of Spain to a selection of gruesome episodes in order to remind people of the cruelties Spanish rulers and their soldiers were capable of.1 The result was a historical canon: a relatively inclusive and non-confes- sional story aimed at convincing as many people as possible that the war should be resumed. But the inclusive character of this narrative was put to the test when new internal divisions compromised the unity of the Republic. Around 1610, a religious quarrel broke out about the Reformed doctrine of double predestination between two professors of theology in Leiden: Jacobus Arminius and Franciscus Gomarus. The disagreement between the two men was ostensibly a matter for academics only, but in fact it almost dragged the state into civil war.2 * Research for this article was funded by an NWO VICI grant for the research project Tales of the Revolt. -
