Let me begin by thanking the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) for funding the research programme Conquest, Competition and Ideology: Inventing Governance in the Dutch Golden Age of which this study formed a part. The staff members of the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication are to be thanked for all the help and advice that they gave to me all those years. I was also fortunate enough to spend a semester at Central Michigan Univer- sity, where I had the pleasure of following a course on Roman history under the guidance of Gregory Smith. Thanks to the warm welcome and help of Timothy Hall and his staff this stay in the New World proved to be a wonder- ful experience and I am grateful for the new friends I met there. Over the years I have greatly benefitted from the help and advice of Alex- ander Bick, Hans Blom, Adrie van der Laan, Henk Nellen, Koen Stapelbroek, Toon Van Hal, Jan Waszink, and Arthur Weststeijn. I also owe much to my col- leagues and fellow Ph.D. students, both old and new, at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication. Jan Hartman, Michel Reinders, and Ingmar Vroomen became friends. The discussions we had and their humor and support made life as a Ph.D student so much more enjoyable. Thanks is also due to all those people, who, in one way or another, helped me with my translations of Latin texts and who introduced me to a linguistic world to which I was but a novice. In this context most praise should go to Adrie van der Laan and Jan Waszink, who saved me from many errors and greatly contributed to the improvement of my translations. It goes without saying that I alone am responsible for all remaining faults. I would also like to express my gratitude to Howard Hotson, Henk Nellen, and Siep Stuurman, who were willing to take a place on the board of examin- ers responsible for the examination of my doctoral thesis. I am particular indebted to my Ph.D. supervisor Robert von Friedeburg. He not only informed my ideas and gave me directions, but he also kept faith in my work when I had lost it. If this thesis has any merits, it is for an important part thanks to him. I also want to thank all my family and friends for their interest and support. I am especially grateful to my parents and sister whose generous financial support enabled me to fully concentrate on my work and – also very impor- tant – to sometimes sit back and relax. vi Preface The greatest thanks, however, I owe to God, who guided me through dif- ficult times and gave me strength to carry out a work that sometimes felt as a great burden. This thesis is a work of man. As such, it is likely to contain all kinds of misinterpretations, inaccuracies, and errors. I hope, however, that despite all its possible flaws, this study will please all those who have helped and sup- ported me throughout the years and that it will be of use to the general reader.

(Algemeene landsdrukkerij; The Hague, 1889-1920) NNBW Nieuw Nederlandsch biografisch woordenboek Chapter 1 Introduction The subject of this thesis is the historical and political thought of Marcus Zue- rius Boxhorn (1612-1653), professor at Leiden University from 1633 until 1653. The primary goal of this thesis is to unearth Boxhorn’s historical and political thought, or at least to discover and present their most central features. On the basis of the results of this investigation into Boxhorn’s historical and political thought, an attempt will be made to make some more general observations about the nature and development of Dutch historical and political thought in the seventeenth century. That is the secondary goal of this thesis. The out- come of this thesis will show that Boxhorn was an important transitional fig- ure between the ‘traditional’ humanist approach to history and politics, on the one hand, and the ‘new’ approach to history and politics of the later seven- teenth century and Enlightenment, on the other. Thanks to the reception of Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), which had already begun in the sixteenth century, and the appearance of the works of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) and Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), the seventeenth century witnessed two important intellectual developments: the rise of modes of secular political thought and the rise of new ideas of natural law. These two developments were sometimes accompanied by a hostile attitude towards the received academic tradition. Hobbes, for example, explicitly campaigned against the ‘Vain Philosophy’ he believed was taught at the universities and which he wanted to see replaced with his own teachings as expressed in Levi- athan (1651).1 In the Dutch Republic Hobbes’s attack on academic learning found an echo in the Politike discoursen (Political Discourses, 1662) of the Lei- den cloth merchant Johan de la Court (1622-1660).

    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.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

LOBBYING FOR THE CREATION OF THE WIC The Dutch Republic originated from a civl war, masked as a war for independence from the King of Spain, between 1568 and 1648. This Eighty Years’ War united the seven provinces in the northern Low Countries, but the young republic was divided on several issues: Was war better than peace for the Republic? Was a republic the best form of government, or should a prince be the head of state? And, what should be the true Protestant form of religion? All these issues came together in struggles for power. Who held power in the Republic, and who had the power to force which decisions? In order to answer these questions, this chapter investigates the governance structure of the Dutch Republic and answers the question what the circumstances were in which the WIC came into being. This is important to understand the rest of this dissertation as it showcases the political context where lobbying occurred. The chapter is complemented by an introduction of the governance structure of the West India Company (WIC) and a brief introduction to the Dutch presence in Brazil. 1.1. THE DUTCH REPUBLIC 1.1.1.

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

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.

  • Nerthus, That Is, Mother Earth
    Odin’s Wife: Mother Earth in Germanic Mythology SAMPLE CHAPTER © 2018 William P. Reaves II. Nerthus, that is, Mother Earth “Tacitus’ much-quoted account in Germania ch. 40 of the ceremonies related to the goddess Nerthus in the area around Schleswig-Holstein or Jylland is of particular interest here for several reasons. First of all, it suggests that the images of the Bronze Age petroglyphs depicting the hieros gamos and processions related to a fertility deity had parallels in southern Scandinavia as late as AD 100, when Tacitus wrote his account. Secondly, it provides the first reliable evidence that the ceremonies were now associated with a named goddess, who must therefore have had her own mythology and background. This in turn implies that enacted rituals to do with the goddess probably had a mythological parallel.” —Terry Gunnell, The Origins of Drama in Scandinavia, (1995), p.53. In literature, Terra Mater (Mother Earth) first appears as a distinct figure of the old heathen religion in the Germania. Despite intense scholarly debate over the motivations of its author, Germania, written by the Roman historian Tacitus around 98 AD, was probably intended as an accurate account of the customs and conditions of the Germanic tribes who posed a threat on the northern border of the Roman Empire for several hundred years. While his moral observations of the Germanic tribes in contrast to the Roman way of life have led some scholars to propose that this was his chief aim in writing it, this is not sufficient as a general interpretation of the text.1 Not only does Tacitus criticize the Germanic way of life almost as often as he praises it, but much of the material has nothing to do with moral issues and cannot be explained simply as filler.

  • Nameless Or Nehallenia
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 70 1956 NAMELESS OR NEHALENNIA By FRANK JENKINS, F.S.A. A SMALL clay figurine found some years ago at Canterbury has for a long time provided an enigma in the identity of the personage which it represents.1 Although the head is missing it is otherwise complete and depicts a matron seated on a throne or high-backed chair, holding a small dog in her arms. The type is well known in north-east Gaul, where numerous examples have been found. These figurines were mass-produced in moulds, two of which have come to light at Bertrich near Trier,2 and it is from that region probably that the Canterbury example came, either as an object of trade or as a personal possession. That figurines of this type had some religious significance is clear from their frequent occurrence on the sites of temples, particularly at Trier3 and in the surrounding countryside.4 For instance, in the temple-area at Trier a number of these figurines were found together by a small shrine, before the door of which stood a stone statue of a seated matron who holds a basket of fruits upon her lap and has a dog seated at her side.5 The presence of the same type of figurine in Roman graves further suggests that it served some ritual purpose.6 Curiously enough in spite of all this abundant material the name of the goddess has in no case been revealed. It is this lacuna in our knowledge that has stimu- lated the writer to search for any evidence which might shed light on the matron's identity.

  • Anglo-Dutch Relations, a Political and Diplomatic Analysis of the Years
    1 ANGLO-DUTCH RELATIONS A Political and Diplomatic Analysis of the years 1625-1642 ’’Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests’’ Lord Palmerston Britain’s Prime Minister 1855 and 1859-65 Anton Poot, M.A. Royal Holloway University of London March 2013 Supervised by Professor Pauline Croft, MA (Oxon) DPhil. FSA FRHistS, to be submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration: I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis, ANGLO-DUTCH RELATIONS A Political and Diplomatic Analysis of the years 1625-1642 is my own. Signed: Name: Anton Poot Date: 2013 For my wife Jesmond 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to analyse Anglo-Dutch relations in this highly volatile period, as perceived and interpreted by both sides, and it also closes the gap between the notable theses of Grayson1 and Groenveld2. On 23 August 1625 Charles I and the Dutch Republic concluded a partnership agreement for joint warfare at sea and a month later a treaty for war against Spain. In December 1625 England, Denmark and the Republic signed treaties to establish the nucleus of an alliance against the Austrian Habsburgs. Charles wanted an active role in continental politics. Also to compel Spain to support his aim to restore his exiled sister Elizabeth and husband Count Elector Frederick V to their Palatinate estates and Frederick to his Electoral dignities in the Empire. The Dutch wanted England as an active partner in their war with Spain. It was a partnership of convenience, with different objectives but with the intention that success would serve the interests of both.
