Jacques Meerman Kleine geschiedenis van de hutspot
Jacques Meerman komt met een heerlijk boek over Nederlands bekendste gerecht: hutspot. Meerman schreef eerder het veelgeprezen Kleine geschiedenis van de Nederlandse keuken. Hutspot is geen klein bier. Er zijn boeken en schilderijen aan gewijd. Het gerecht is nog steeds een rijke bron voor creativiteit in recepten. En menig patriottisch hart gaat er sneller van kloppen. Hutspot symboliseert dan ook het ontstaan van de Nederlandse natie. Het gerecht is onlosmakelijk verbonden met het Leids Ontzet...

Ian Buruma Hun beloofde land
mijn grootouders in tijden van liefde en oorlog
In Hun beloofde land vertelt Ian Buruma het verhaal van zijn grootouders Bernard Schlesinger en Winifred Regensburg, de in Londen geboren kinderen van Duits-Joodse immigranten. Hun liefde hield zestig jaar stand, hoewel de geliefden jaren van elkaar gescheiden waren. Want tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog diende Schlesinger in Frankrijk en het Midden-Oosten, in de Tweede in India. Ze schreven elkaar brieven, bijkans dagelijks, waarin ze vertelden over hun leven, maar ook over kunst, muziek en hoop....

Ecclesia in medio nationis
reflections on the study of monasticism in the central Middle Ages
The role of monastic institutions in society during the Central Middle Ages has been much debated in medieval studies. Some scholars saw monasticism as the principal motivator of economic, social, intellectual and 'spiritual' progress in human society, while others regarded monastic ideology as fundamentally anti-social and oriented towards itself. These debates seem to have lost some of their relevance to the present-day scholar. Today monasticism is studied as a social entity which needed interactions...

Kadoc Charity and social welfare
How churches in Northern Europe reinvented their role as providers of social relief. Charity is a word that fits well in the history of religion and churches, whereas the concept of social reform seems to belong more to the vocabulary of the modern welfare states. Christian charity found itself, during the long nineteenth century, within the maelstrom of social turmoil. In this context of social unrest, although charity managed to confirm its relevance, it was also subjected to fierce criticism,...

Kadoc Mission & science
missiology revised
Science as an instrument to justify religious missions in secular society. The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant and Catholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a "project of modernity," a contemporary form of apologetics. "Scientific apologetics" was...

The economics of providence

The wealth and patrimony of religious institutes. During the French Revolution almost all monasteries and abbeys were suppressed and their possessions seized. Yet after the French Revolution many religious institutes were very successful in re-establishing themselves, sometimes accumulating large patrimonies, against the background of often hostile political forces. This book deals with the question of how the religious orders and congregations rebuilt their patrimony, a necessary prerequisite for...

Aristotle's "Problemata" in different times and tongues
The present volume contains a collection of papers on the reception of Aristotle's Problemata, a multifaceted text asking various questions about medical, scientific or everyday topics. This text is one of the most neglected Aristotelian treatises, because of its heterogeneous character and its so-called 'inauthenticity'. It has been the subject of a complex transmission. In ancient times, Aristotle's text has been augmented and adapted, while still other authors composed similar collections of Problemata....

Neo-Latin commentaries and the management of knowledge in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period (1400-1700)
Profound study of one of the most important genres within Humanist scholarship. Between 1400 and 1700 the political, religious, intellectual, and even geographic landscape was profoundly changed by the Reformation, Humanism, the rise of empirical science, the invention of printing technology, and the discovery of the New World. The late medieval and early modern intellectuals felt an urgent need to respond to the changes they were involved in, and to come to a revision and re-authorisation of knowledge....
