Spinoza in His Time
In one of the last paragraphs of his Tractatus theologico-politicus (1670), Spinoza extolls the harmony between people of a diversity of faiths, maintained by the magistracy of Amsterdam. However, he also seems apprehensive about the possibility of the return of chaos, such as during the Arminian Controversies in the Dutch Republic in the 1610s and the English Civil War in the 1640s and 1650s. The so-called Wolzogen affair in 1668 probably rattle…

Enlightened Religion
This volume widens the scope of research into the relation between religion and Enlightenment. The contributions demonstrate the impact of changing worldviews in a variety of intellectual disciplines and cultural milieus. Readership: Cultural historians, historians of ideas, of philosophy, and of religion, interested in the debate over the place of religion in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century Dutch Republic. Keywords: controversy…
Faces of the Reformation
Some time in the second quarter of the seventeenth century the London bookseller Thomas Jenner published an engraving that shows a selection of prominent Protestant Reformers. This image was copied and adapted all over Europe into the nineteenth century. In this article a variety of adaptations of this print are placed on an approximate timeline, and it is argued that they present us with a unique visual record of the way in which the Reformation…
Calvinism and Religious Toleration in the Dutch Golden Age
Dutch society has enjoyed a reputation, or notoriety, for permissiveness from the sixteenth century to present times. The Dutch Republic in the Golden Age was the only society that tolerated religious dissenters of all persuasions in early modern Europe, despite being committed to a strictly Calvinist public Church. Professors R. Po-chia Hsia and Henk van Nierop have brought together a group of leading historians from the US, the UK and the Nethe…
Religious policies in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic
There is a general and long-standing agreement among historians that the Dutch Republic was tolerant on the issue of religion. Still, it is not at all easy to determine how this celebrated toleration actually worked out in practice. It is evident that religious toleration was a hotly debated issue. Jonathan Israel has recently mapped out these discussions and the shifts in their focus. This makes religious toleration an obvious object of study in…
Time for Prayer and Time for Work. Rule and Practice among Catholic Lay Sisters in the Dutch Republic
One shall rise at five in the morning and go to communal prayers at six. After prayer and meditation one shall read the first three canonical hours: matins, lauds and prime – but those who do not have the leisure can also do this over their work. This is how the Rule of a community of seventeenth-century Dutch Catholic lay-sisters started. Theirs was a very flexible rule, designed to accommodate both wealthy sisters, who could spend much of their…
Unity and Diversity as a Theme in Early Modern Dutch Religious History
The Reformation in the Low Countries fascinates both church historians and general historians. Religious change and political revolution went hand in hand. The history of the Reformation is an integral part of the history of the birth of the Dutch nation. Although well-researched, its attraction is renewed with each successive historiographical fashion
