A close reading of Bathsua Makin and Anna Maria Van Schurman’s essays in relation to one another, and within their social and historical context, reveals the importance of ideas of religion and social order, especially class, in understanding and justifying women’s education.

Inscription: center left, below the cathedral, in the portrait medallion: Cornelius Ionson / Van Ceulen / fecit / 1657 Gift of Joseph F. McCrindle 2002.35.1 ENTRY This monochrome panel painting, or grisaille, [1] made in preparation for an engraving by Cornelis van Dalen the Younger (Dutch, 1638 - 1664) [fig. 1], depicts a learned lady of international renown: Anna Maria van Schurman (1607–1678). [2] Van Schurman was born in Cologne on November 5, 1607, to Frederik van Schurman and Eva von Harff, both of whom came from wealthy and noble Protestant families. [3] By 1615 Anna’s parents had settled in Utrecht, where she soon demonstrated remarkable talent in embroidery, calligraphy, and the making of intricate paper cuttings. In the 1630s she took lessons in drawing and engraving from Magdalena van de Passe (Dutch, 1600 - 1638), daughter of the engraver Crispijn van de Passe I (Dutch, c. 1565 - 1637). Van Schurman began making small portraits, including self-portraits, in a variety of mediums, among them pastels and oils, and small sculptures made of boxwood or wax. In recognition of her artistic abilities, the Saint Luke’s Guild of Utrecht gave her an honorary membership in 1643. [4] Van Schurman was renowned even more for her intellectual concerns than for her artistic accomplishments. Referred to as the Utrecht “Minerva,” she exchanged poems and corresponded with some of the greatest minds of the day, including Anna Maria van Schurman 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Constantijn Huygens (1596–1687), René Descartes (1596–1650), and Jacob Cats (1577–1660).

  • Warning Against the Pietists: the World of Wilhelmus À Brakel
    chapter 12 Warning against the Pietists: The World of Wilhelmus à Brakel Fred van Lieburg Abstract In 1700 the Reformed minister Wilhelmus à Brakel published a voluminous compen- dium of theology in the vernacular for a Dutch lay audience. The book immediately proved a best-seller. Still in print, it remains highly valued as a work of devotional lit- erature among Dutch neo-calvinists. In the third edition (1707) the author added a new chapter, delineating Reformed orthodoxy against various forms of ‘natural’ reli- gion. Brakel appears to have been very apprehensive of the developments in German Pietism. The genesis and content of the new chapter, warning his audience ‘against Pietists, Quietists, and … Spiritless Religion Under the Guise of Spirituality’ show how a prominent minister like Brakel found himself moving the frontiers between Reformed orthodoxy and rationalism, reacting against some of the pietisms of his day, and evolving towards a ‘new Protestantism.’ 1 Between Reason and Piety At the turn of the eighteenth century, Wilhelmus à Brakel (1635–1711), ‘Minister of the Divine Word’ in Rotterdam, published his Λογικη λατρεια, dat is Redelyke godts-dienst (Logikè Latreia, that is Reasonable Religion). The author could not have predicted that his voluminous work would become and remain a best- seller.1 Although the title might suggest a commitment to contemporary ratio- nalism, in reality it referred to the apostolic vocabulary of earliest Christianity (Paul’s letter to the Romans, 12,1). In ecclesiastical historiography Brakel is associated with post-Reformation confessionalism or even early Pietism. As a 1 Wilhelmus à Brakel, Logikè latreia, dat is Redelyke godts-dienst.

Transoceanic trade routes compounded travel over land for commercial gain, and the distribution of wares took on global dimensions. Precious metals, spices, textiles, and, later, slaves were among the myriad commodities transported from west to east and in some cases back again. Taste followed trade—or so the story tends to be told. This lecture addresses the traffic in global goods in the Dutch world from a different perspective—piracy. “A Taste for Piracy in the Dutch Republic” will present and explore exemplary narratives of piracy and their impact and, more broadly, the contingencies of consumption and taste- making as the result of politically charged violence. Inspired by recent scholarship on ships, shipping, maritime pictures, and piracy this lecture offers a new lens onto the culture of piracy as well as the material goods obtained by piracy, and how their capture informed new patterns of consumption in the Dutch Republic.

Tanto van Schurman como Madame Guyon argumentaban que “el fin último de la humanidad” es “gozar a Dios”, y su preocupación principal era cómo lograr la unión con el objeto de deseo y disfrutar ese summum bonum. Asimismo, las dos consideraban que la unión con Dios es posible, en esta vida, negán- dose a sí mismo/a o autodestrucción y las dos encontraban placer en esta autonegación, integrando una a teología del sacrificio con una teología del deseo y del placer.

  • Anna Maria Van Schurman and Antoinette Bourignon As Contrasting Examples
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Groningen Digital Archive Gender, genre and authority in seventeenth-century religious writing: Anna Maria van Schurman and Antoinette Bourignon as contrasting examples Mirjam de Baar (University of Groningen) Publishing entails publicity or at least an intervention in the public sphere. Wo- men in the early modern period, however, were not allowed to speak in public. In accordance with the admonitions of the apostle Paul (I Cor. 14:34 and I Tim. 2:11-12) they were meant to observe silence. A woman who wanted to publish her thoughts was suspected of being willing to make her body available as well. This injunction to female silence was so strong that the majority of women who did publish felt the need to justify their audacity. In addition to these cultural admonitions advocating female silence, Merry Wiesner, author of Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe , mentions two other barriers that prevented women in early modern Europe from publishing: their relative lack of educational opportunities and economic factors. 1 These barriers might explain why women throughout the early modern period repre- sented only a tiny share of the total amount of printed material, though their share did increase during this period. Patricia Crawford has shown that in England between 1600 and 1640 publications by women accounted for only 0.5 percent of the total, increasing in the next six decades to 1.2 percent. 2 The majority of early modern women’s published works were religious, particularly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the vast majority of all publications were religious.

    RELIGIEUS BEGRAVEN Levensbeschouwingen geven antwoord op de drie belangrijkste levensvragen: verleden: de vraag naar de oorsprong heden: de vraag naar zingeving toekomst: de vraag naar ‘na de dood’ In het antwoord op de vraag wat er na de dood gebeurt, zijn drie antwoorden te onderscheiden: hiermaals: het leven is eindig, de dood is het einde hiernamaals: het leven is eindig, de dood is een grens hiernanogmaals: het leven is niet eindig, de dood is een overgang naar een nieuw leven Het levensbeschouwelijke landschap is zeer divers. Hoe is op begraafplaatsen die levensbeschouwelijke, c.q. religieuze verscheidenheid terug te vinden? RELIGIE 11 - LABADISTEN Labadisten. Ze bestaan niet meer, ze zijn niet meer dan een klein vlekje in de geschiedenis van religieuze bewegingen, die zich voelden geïnspireerd door de Heilige Geest. De Labadisten vormden in de 17e eeuw een Nederlandse piëtistische godsdienstige sekte onder leiding van Jean de Labadie. Wat er nog aan hen herinnert zijn enkele regels uit het bekende kinderliedje Er kwam ene boer uit Zwitserland (…) labadie, labada, labadonia, de Labadistendyk in Wieuwerd en de mummies in de graf- kelder van de Hervormde kerk van Wieuwerd. Jean de Labadie (1610-1674) De Labadisten ontlenen hun naam aan Jean de Labadie uit Bourg-de-Gironde (bij Bordeaux), die achter- eenvolgens jezuïet, seculier priester, afvallig katholiek, jansenist, en calvinist werd. In 1659 werd hij predikant in Genève. Hier bouwde hij een reputatie op als iemand die een diepgaande vernieuwing van de kerk wilde. Zijn roem ging tot over de grenzen, tot in Nederland toe.

    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2008, vol. 3 A Women’s Republic of Letters: Anna Maria van Schurman, Marie de Gournay, and Female Self- Representation in Relation to the Public Sphere Anne R. Larsen n the study of early modern women writers’ participation in trans- Inational networks of epistolary exchange, a remarkable example is the one centered on the polyglot Anna Maria van Schurman (1607–1678). One of the most famous erudite women in Europe and the most celebrated in the Protestant world, Schurman corresponded with many women, with whom she established a commonality of purpose and a sense of community. She addressed letters both to the well-known—such as the Huguenot Princess Anne de Rohan (1584–1646), Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia (1618–1689), and the latter’s sister Sophie von der Pfalz (1630–1714), later Electress of Hanover—and to the relatively obscure— such as a Madame de Coutel, who shared her interest in portraiture, and Anne de Merveil, Dowager of Prosting.1 The concept of a respublica lit- teraria mulierum (a women’s Republic of Letters) emerges strongly from Schurman’s letters and poems addressed to her peers in other lands.2 In France, during the first part of the seventeenth century, three notable contemporaries of Schurman, Marie le Jars de Gournay (1565– 1645), Anne de Rohan, and Madeleine de Scudéry (1607–1701), either entertained an epistolary exchange with her or knew her work firsthand. In the second half of the century, Schurman continued to be admired for her erudition, knowledge of languages, defense of women’s higher educa- tion, and modesty: Madame de Motteville (1615–1689), in a letter writ- ten in 1660 to Anne-Marie-Louise d’Orléans (1627–1693), Duchesse 105 106 EMWJ 2008, vol.

    HOPE COLLEGE SPERA SPOTLIGHT ON FACULTY RESEARCH AND SCHOLARLY WORK | 2020 | ON FOUR CONTINENTS, HELPING AGENCIES ENCOURAGE FOSTER CARE DEB STURTEVANT, Ph.D. | PROFESSOR OF SOCIAL WORK Dr. Deb Sturtevant’s “on the side” takes her quite a distance. Guatemala. China. Romania. Zambia. Since the 1990s, she’s worked on projects with the global arm of Bethany Christian Services. In a six-year effort in Zambia that wrapped up in 2015, she and colleagues evaluated a community-based family support program and networked with a local agency and church to improve children’s well-being and support development of community resources to keep families intact. When I went to Zambia the first time in 2009, the sub-Saharan HIV rate “was huge; we were looking at life, death, survival. The Christian Alliance for Children in Zambia operated a crisis care clinic for kids who were abandoned in ditches, bus stations, etc. They were brought to the clinic by police or local people who found them. We worked with the agency to evaluate its existing program, to propose improvements and to encourage them to develop a local foster care program. We realized extended families — aunties, grandparents — or foster parents would keep children in families and reduce the number of children in orphanages. In countries where people in dire poverty have been in survival mode, it’s interesting to be in conversations with social workers and church members and encourage them to think differently about what it means to be a family. Orphan care might keep kids alive, but it doesn’t provide all they need to become productive members of society nearly as well as having a family does.
