    280 SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NEWS conclusion to be paradoxical, it should be esteemed quite otherwise by specialists. Sophie van Romburgh. “For My Worthy Freind Mr Franciscus Junius”: An Edition of the Correspondence of Francis Junius F.F. (1591-1677). Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2004. x + 1134 pp. $317.00. Review by ERNEST B. GILMAN, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. The indefatigable Dutch polymath whose letters are here col- lected was a jack of all scholarly trades and the master of them all. Medievalists are aware of Junius’s pioneering contributions to the study of Anglo-Saxon and Germanic philology. He was an expert in the comparative study of Old Norse, Old High German, Old Frisian, and Gothic as well as Old English. The codex in the Bodleian containing the Old English texts of Genesis A and B, Exodus, Daniel and “Christ and Satan,” still bears his name as “The Junius Manuscript.” For Renaissance art historians, The Paint- ing of the Ancients (published in Junius’s own Latin, English and Dutch versions over the period 1637-1641) represents the first comprehensive account of the visual arts in antiquity, and a cen- tral document in the history of ut pictura poesis. It stood as the standard work on the subject until the age of Winckelmann. This book was commissioned by Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel, in whose household Junius served as tutor and librarian for twenty years before the civil war. It was in this office that Junius supplied the scholarly expertise, and perhaps also his share of the enthusi- asm, behind the transnational antiquarian ventures of the “Collec- tor Earl.” Among the projects that occupied a long life devoted to scholarship was a posthumously published Catalogus, arranged al- phabetically, of all the references to objects of art (painting, sculp- ture, architecture, pottery and much else) that Junius could delve out of the archive of classical literature.

    Holland and the Rise of Political Economy in Seventeenth-Century Europe

    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, xl:2 (Autumn, 2009), 215–238. ACCOUNTING FOR GOVERNMENT Jacob Soll Accounting for Government: Holland and the Rise of Political Economy in Seventeenth-Century Europe The Dutch may ascribe their present grandeur to the virtue and frugality of their ancestors as they please, but what made that contemptible spot of the earth so considerable among the powers of Europe has been their political wisdom in postponing everything to merchandise and navigation [and] the unlimited liberty of conscience enjoyed among them. —Bernard de Mandeville, The Fable of the Bees (1714) In the Instructions for the Dauphin (1665), Louis XIV set out a train- ing course for his son. Whereas humanists and great ministers had cited the ancients, Louis cited none. Ever focused on the royal moi, he described how he overcame the troubles of the civil war of the Fronde, noble power, and ªscal problems. This was a modern handbook for a new kind of politics. Notably, Louis exhorted his son never to trust a prime minister, except in questions of ªnance, for which kings needed experts. Sounding like a Dutch stadtholder, Louis explained, “I took the precaution of assigning Colbert . with the title of Intendant, a man in whom I had the highest conªdence, because I knew that he was very dedicated, intelli- gent, and honest; and I have entrusted him then with keeping the register of funds that I have described to you.”1 Jean-Baptiste-Colbert (1619–1683), who had a merchant background, wrote the sections of the Instructions that pertained to ªnance. He advised the young prince to master ªnance through the handling of account books and the “disposition of registers” Jacob Soll is Associate Professor of History, Rutgers University, Camden.

Blocksom Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Linda Stone-Ferrier Dr. Marni Kessler Dr. Anne D. Hedeman Dr. Stephen Goddard Dr. Diane Fourny Date Defended: November 17, 2017 ii The dissertation committee for Megan C. Blocksom certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Picturing Processions: The Intersection of Art and Ritual in Seventeenth-century Dutch Visual Culture Chair: Dr. Linda Stone-Ferrier Date Approved: November 17, 2017 iii Abstract This study examines representations of religious and secular processions produced in the seventeenth-century Northern Netherlands. Scholars have long regarded representations of early modern processions as valuable sources of knowledge about the rich traditions of European festival culture and urban ceremony. While the literature on this topic is immense, images of processions produced in the seventeenth-century Northern Netherlands have received comparatively limited scholarly analysis. One of the reasons for this gap in the literature has to do with the prevailing perception that Dutch processions, particularly those of a religious nature, ceased to be meaningful following the adoption of Calvinism and the rise of secular authorities. This dissertation seeks to revise this misconception through a series of case studies that collectively represent the diverse and varied roles performed by processional images and the broad range of contexts in which they appeared. Chapter 1 examines Adriaen van Nieulandt’s large-scale painting of a leper procession, which initially had limited viewership in a board room of the Amsterdam Leprozenhuis, but ultimately reached a wide audience through the international dissemination of reproductions in multiple histories of the city.
  • Bittersweet: Sugar, Slavery, and Science in Dutch Suriname

    Bittersweet: Sugar, Slavery, and Science in Dutch Suriname

    BITTERSWEET: SUGAR, SLAVERY, AND SCIENCE IN DUTCH SURINAME Elizabeth Sutton Pictures of sugar production in the Dutch colony of Suriname are well suited to shed light on the role images played in the parallel rise of empirical science, industrial technology, and modern capitalism. The accumulation of goods paralleled a desire to accumulate knowledge and to catalogue, organize, and visualize the world. This included possessing knowledge in imagery, as well as human and natural resources. This essay argues that representations of sugar production in eighteenth-century paintings and prints emphasized the potential for production and the systematization of mechanized production by picturing mills and labor as capital. DOI: 10.18277/makf.2015.13 ictures of sugar production in the Dutch colony of Suriname are well suited to shed light on the role images played in the parallel rise of empirical science, industrial technology, and modern capitalism.1 Images were important to legitimating and privileging these domains in Western society. The efficiency considered neces- Psary for maximal profit necessitated close attention to the science of agriculture and the processing of raw materials, in addition to the exploitation of labor. The accumulation of goods paralleled a desire to accumulate knowledge and to catalogue, organize, and visualize the world. Scientific rationalism and positivism corresponded with mercantile imperatives to create an epistemology that privileged knowledge about the natural world in order to control its resources. Prints of sugar production from the seventeenth century provided a prototype of representation that emphasized botanical description and practical diagrams of necessary apparatuses. This focus on the means of production was continued and condensed into representations of productive capacity and mechanical efficiency in later eighteenth-century images.

    Saturn As the “Sun of Night” in Ancient Near Eastern Tradition ∗

    Saturn as the “Sun of Night” in Ancient Near Eastern Tradition ∗ Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs – Seongnam (Korea) Peter James – London [This article tackles two issues in the “proto-astronomical” conception of the planet Saturn, first attested in Mesopotamia and followed by the Greeks and Hindus: the long-standing problem of Saturn’s baffling association with the Sun; and why Saturn was deemed to be “black”. After an extensive consideration of explanations offered from the 5th century to the 21st, as well as some new “thought experiments”, we suggest that Saturn’s connection with the Sun had its roots in the observations that Saturn’s course appears to be the steadiest one among the planets and that its synodic period – of all the planets – most closely resembles the length of the solar year. For the black colour attributed to Saturn we propose a solution which is partly lexical and partly observational (due to atmospheric effects). Finally, some thoughts are offered on the question why in Hellenistic times some considered the “mock sun” Phaethon of Greek myth to have been Saturn]. Keywords: Saturn, planets, Sun, planet colour. 1. INTRODUCTION Since the late 19th century scholars have been puzzled by a conspicuous peculiarity in the Babylonian nomenclature for the planet Saturn: a number of texts refer to Saturn as the “Sun” ( dutu/20 or Šamaš ), instead of its usual astronomical names Kayam ānu and mul UDU.IDIM. 1 This curious practice was in vogue during the period c. 750-612 BC 2 and is not known from earlier periods, with a single possible exception, discussed below.

    Franciscus Junius: Philology and the survival of Antiquity in the art of northern Europe Review of: Art and Antiquity in the Netherlands and Britain. The Vernacular Arcadia of Franciscus Junius (1591 - 1677) by Thijs Weststeijn, Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2015, 452 pp., 178 colour & b/w illus. €129,00/ $164.00, ISBN13: 9789004283619, E-ISBN: 9789004283992 Ann Jensen Adams The early modern Dutch claimed as their forbearers the Batavians, a Germanic tribe described by Tacitus as located in the far reaches of the Roman Empire. Writings about art produced by the seventeenth-century descendants of these provincial peoples were proud but defensive as they continued to treat Rome as the centre of civilization. In 1632 Constantijn Huygens, secretary to northern Netherlands stadtholder Prince Frederik Henry, confided to his diary that he wished the promising artists Rembrandt van Rijn and Jan Lievens had travelled to Italy to learn from the art of antiquity and the Renaissance masters who had absorbed its lessons. But, he noted, the two young men felt that there were plenty of Italian works to be seen conveniently enough in The Netherlands. He then lavished praise on a figure of Judas by Rembrandt that he felt powerfully expressed the kind of universal truths promulgated by Latin art. Indeed, he wrote, ‘[... ] all honor to you, Rembrandt! To have brought Ilium – even all of Asia Minor – to Italy was a lesser feat than for a Dutchman [...] to have captured for The Netherlands the trophy of artistic excellence from Greece and Italy.’1 Through the first three quarters of the twentieth century this ambivalent stance toward the art of northern Europe has run like a red thread through art history as it developed as a professional discipline identified with, and defined by, the Italian Renaissance’s revival of antiquity.

  • The Birth of Scientific Publishing — Descartes in the Netherlands

    The Birth of Scientific Publishing — Descartes in the Netherlands

    A Century of Science Publishing E.H. Fredriksson (Ed.) IOS Press, Chapter The Birth of Scientific Publishing — Descartes in the Netherlands Jean Galard Cultural Department, Musée du Louvre, Paris, France René Descartes (–) occupies an eminent place at a crucial moment in the history of thought. He played a decisive role when the medieval scholastic tra- dition was supplanted by the modern scientific mind. His personal contribution to the attainments of science was perhaps modest (most of his theories were soon out- dated). But he incarnated a new attitude of the mind towards the world; he for- mulated a new method; he furnished the essential bases for the future development of knowledge. His books, which were all written in the Netherlands, are examples of the spectacular birth of scientific publications. However, by a noteworthy paradox, they were directed against the cult of the Book. Descartes, like Galileo, relied on observation, on direct experience, aided by reasoning, at a time when intellectual authority was incarnated by the canonical books, those of Aristotle. The Cartesian moment in the history of thought is marked by a refusal of opinions conveyed by ancient books. It was the moment of the true re-foundation of thought, indepen- dent of bookish culture. An anecdote illustrates it well. A gentleman went to visit Descartes at Egmond, in Holland, where the philosopher resided from , and asked him for the books of physics that he used. Descartes declared that he would willingly show them to him: he took his visitor in a courtyard, behind his dwelling, and showed the body of a calf that he was about to dissect.

The first part describes what we call the Old World Order—a system that relied on war as the linchpin of law. The first two chapters center on Grotius and the legal order he helped establish. The subsequent chapters of this part show how war was a source of legal redress and legal rights. The legal rights to territory, people, and goods were decided by war—even ones that were entirely unjust. The second part of the book—comprised of four chapters—tells the story of what we argue is a deep shift in the legal meaning of war—the end of the Old World Order and the beginning of something fundamentally new. This shift, we argue, has consequences not just for states’ recourse to war, but for international law and the international system as a whole. The chapter that begins this second part of the book examines the “war to outlaw war”—the global movement to reject the remedial conception of war that characterized the Old World Order. That chapter ends with the signing of the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact (also called the Paris Peace Pact or Briand-Kellogg Pact). The next chapter examines the consequences that flowed from the decision to reject the legal rules that underpinned the Old World Order without first sorting out the legal rules and institutions that would take their place.

    Poems on the Threshold: Neo-Latin Carmina Liminaria

    Chapter 3 Poems on the Threshold: Neo-Latin carmina liminaria Harm-Jan van Dam Introduction Imagine someone about four hundred years ago picking up a new Latin book, for instance the fourth edition of Daniel Heinsius’ poetry, published in Leiden, shown at the end of this paper. It dates from 1613, as the colophon at the end of the book states. Readers enter the book through the frontispiece or main entrance, with its promises of sublime poetry given by the crown- ing of Pegasus, and of a text so much more correct and complete according to the inscription (emendata locis infinitis & aucta) that it would be better to throw away their earlier editions. The entrance draws the reader inside to the next page where he may learn the book’s contents (indicem . aversa indicat pagina). That index is followed first by a prose Dedicatio addressed to one of the Governors of Leiden University, then by a poem in six elegiac distichs on Heinsius’ Elegies by Joseph Scaliger, a letter by Hugo Grotius ending with seven distichs, and a Greek poem of sixteen distichs by Heinsius’ colleague Petrus Cunaeus. Finally Heinsius devotes six pages to an Address Amico lectori. Then, stepping across the threshold, the reader at last enters the house itself, the first book of the Elegies.1 Many, if not most, early modern books begin like this, with various prelimi- nary matter in prose and especially in poetry. Nevertheless, not much has been written on poems preceding the main text of books.2 They are often designated 1 Respectively pp.
