    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).

At first sight the translation appears to be a straightforward mercantile handbook. No additions are made to the English language original of 1721, other than a set of tables. Yet, precisely in this mercantile function lies a different political significance. The argument of this article, built up through contextual reconstruction and analysis of a number of pamphlets, trade handbooks and periodicals, is that the Historie van den algemenen en bijzonderen koophandel van Groot Brittannien provided an instrument to its Dutch readers, presumably consisting to a large extent of merchants and politicians, for coming to grips with the reality of international commerce that had emerged following the War of the Spanish Succession.

One gets the impression that the government of the King-Stadholder was widely appreciated in the Dutch Republic, while in fact his position was not uncontested and this image was partly constructed in laudatory poems. The laudations for William were univocal in their praise and particularly religious in tone. The example of the Amsterdam female poet Katharina Lescailje (1649–1711) highlights both aspects of the poetry about William and Mary. The resounding praise for William, as well as the religious tone in the poems written during the 1680s, was in remarkable opposition to her earlier political poems, written in the 1670s.

  • Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
    Necessity is the mother of invention The lottery loans of Holland during the War of the Spanish Succession Matthijs Hoekstra 3006476 History: Cities, states and Citizenship First reader: Oscar Gelderblom Second reader: Joost Jonker Introduction 3 1. The first lottery loans: England and the Estates-General 6 2. The first lottery loan of Holland 15 3. The prize ledgers 25 4. The investors of the lottery 37 5. The redemption of the lottery of 1711 43 Conclusion 52 Literature 53 Appendix: Investors of the lottery 58 - 2 - Introduction At several moments in the 18 th century Holland raised capital through lottery loans. This thesis examines what lottery loans are, why they were organized, and who invested in them. Lottery loans haven’t received much attention in debates about the development of early modern public finance. In his history of the lotteries of the Low Countries Fokker wrote in 1862 that lotteries organized by the Estates were a sign of the moral decline of the Republic. Where first lotteries had been used to raise money for charity, now the Estates used lotteries for their own benefits. 1 In his seminal work The Financial Revolution in England Dickson wrote that an ‘addiction of contemporaries to gambling on a massive scale’ was a contradictory trend to the progress in finance made in the 17 th and 18 th century. 2 Murphy, on the other hand, claims the boundaries between gambling and investment remained indistinct in the late 17 th century, and therefore connects the lotteries with the financial revolution. 3 Gelderblom and Jonker examined how market forces shaped Holland’s issuing policy.

Uitgeverij Vantilt, Nijmegen / Nederlandse Boekhistorische Vereniging, Leiden 2004 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_jaa008200401_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. i.s.m. 7 Voorwoord In 2003 vierde het Jaarboek voor Nederlandse Boekgeschiedenis zijn eerste jubileum. In tien jaar tijd volgden redacteuren, vormgevers en drukkers elkaar op, maar afgezien van een duidelijke cesuur tussen de tweede en derde aflevering heeft die processie zich overwegend in stilte voltrokken. Het Jaarboek dat u nu in handen houdt, is het product van de inspanningen van wederom nieuwe redacteuren, een nieuwe vormgever en een nieuwe drukker, maar bovendien een nieuwe uitgever. Of juister gezegd, het Jaarboek heeft er een uitgever bij gekregen. Het is nu een gezamenlijke uitgave van de Nederlandse Boekhistorische Vereniging en uitgeverij Vantilt in Nijmegen. Voor de beslissing om een externe uitgever in de arm te nemen waren verschillende redenen. De directe aanleiding was dat de tekstredactionele werkzaamheden een dermate zware aanslag op de vrije tijd van achtereenvolgende tekstredacteuren betekenden, dat het allengs moeilijker werd om een daarvoor voldoende gekwalificeerde vrijwilliger te strikken. Vantilt levert het Jaarboek een uitstekend gekwalificeerde vakman. Ook is het plezierig om de verantwoordelijkheid voor de begeleiding van het productieproces in professionele handen te kunnen geven. Dat Vantilt bovendien een bijdrage kan leveren aan bredere publiciteit en distributie, zal naast het Jaarboek zelf ook de Nederlandse Boekhistorische Vereniging ten goede komen. Nu ik toch het gebruikelijke redactionele zwijgen in een algemeen (niet thematisch samengesteld) nummer heb doorbroken, gebruik ik de gelegenheid graag om de aandacht te vestigen op nog een vernieuwing.

The central figure, Reformed Faith, represents the ongoing development of the churches of the Reformation towards the original Christian simplicity. She acknowledges her dependence on divine grace, and receives God’s blessing in return. In her lap rests the hat of freedom, representing freedom of the conscience, while she tramples the papal regalia.

  • La Salle Des Chevaliers De Ridderzaal
    La Salle des Chevaliers De Ridderzaal La Salle des Chevaliers était d’origine une salle de fêtes. Remontons dans le temps: il y a plus de 700 ans, les com- tes de Hollande bâtissaient ici un pavillon de chasse; Floris IV, comte de Hollande de 1222 à 1234, fait construire un pavillon dans le bois au bord d’un étang poissonneux. Il y vit avec sa famille et sa cour durant une partie de l’année. Lorsque son fils, le comte Guillaume II de Hollande, fut élu roi des Romains en 1247 à Aix-la-Chapelle, il fait construi- re un vrai château, digne de son rang, où il peut organiser des fêtes et des réceptions. C’est alors que le Binnenhof prend la belle allure que nous voyons aujourd’hui. Guillaume II n’a cependant jamais habité ce bâtiment, aux dimen- sions imposantes pour l’époque. C’est à son fils, Floris V, qu’incomba la tâche d’achever le château. Le comte et sa cour préfèrent désormais le beau palais de la Haye (Die Haghe) aux autres résidences comtales dans le pays. D’où le nouveau nom du lieu: ‘des graven hage’, la Haye des Comtes. Quand les comtes de Hollande s’installèrent définitivement avec leur famille et leur cour au Binnenhof, de nombreu- ses constructions s’élevèrent alors de part et d’autre des murs de ce château. En effet, la cour d’un seigneur au Moyen Âge devait se suffire à elle-même. Aussi trouvait-on à l’intérieur de l’enceinte du château des écuries, une ferme, des étables, une boulangerie et une chapelle.

  • Prelude to Rijswijk: William III, Louis XIV, and the Strange Case of Marshal Boufflers
    Prelude to Rijswijk: William III, Louis XIV, and the Strange Case of Marshal Boufflers John M. Stapleton, Jr. United States Military Academy The late summer of 1695 witnessed one of the more unusual events of the Nine Years' War. After more than two months of bloody siege, the great fortress and citadel at Namur had finally fallen to Stadholder-King William III's confederate army, and as was customary after a stout defense, the garrison's commander, Louis-François, marquis d'Boufflers,1 concluded an honorable "capitulation." According to its terms, he and his remaining 5,120 troops – more than 10,000 had been killed or wounded during the siege – were allowed to march out of the fortress through the breach at the Terra Nova accompanied by six cannon and two mortars.2 1 Louis-François, marquis d'Boufflers, was one of the most experienced and respected of Louis XIV's generals. A veteran of the War of Devolution and the Dutch War, Boufflers was an excellent tactician but an average strategist. For his defense of Namur in 1695, Louis XIV would create him duke d' Boufflers.

  • The Republican Alternative the Netherlands and Switzerland Compared
    A THE REPUBLICAN The Netherlands and Switzerland are among the world’s most successful ndré societies. Their inhabitants enjoy high standards of living and express great satisfaction with their lives according to surveys. This despite serious natural H handicaps, such as a lack of raw materials and an abundance of water and Maarten Thomas Maissen, olenstein, rock respectively. The foundation for their prosperity was laid in the early modern period, between roughly and , when, as federal republics, the two countries were already something of an anomaly in Europe. Their inhabitants experienced serious anxieties and tried to justify their exceptionality, to which they were, at the same time, greatly attached. The Republican Alternative attempts through a sustained comparison, to highlight the special character of the two countries, which were similar perhaps at first sight, but nonetheless developed their own solutions to the challenges they faced. The book includes in-depth discussions of citizenship arrangements, Swiss and Dutch dealings with religious pluriformity, political discourses justifying the republican form of government, and the A advantages and disadvantages of an agrarian over a commercial society.
