The sixteenth-century Dutch spiritualist and controversialist, Dirck Volckertszoon Coornhert (1522-1590), is increasingly recognized as a pivotal figure in the cultural and political life of the early Dutch Republic. With the appearance of Henk Bonger’s widely acclaimed biography (1978), the first complete account of Coornhert’s life became available in the Dutch language. Today this biography is still the starting point of any serious research on Coornhert and his circle. This translation now makes this standard biography available in English for the first time. The translator profited from Henk Bonger’s comments on the translated chapters, and the author approved of adaptations and changes where these were deemed necessary. The structure and most of the chapters of the book are as they were in the original. The chief changes are: the abridgment and combination into one chapter of the two original chapters on Coornhert’s creative work and his translations. The ample quotes from Coornhert contained in the text enable the reader to attain a first hand acquaintance with Coornhert’s profound thought and inimitable style. References have been updated and some explanatory remarks intended for a non-Dutch readership were added. The translation is complemented with a full bibliography of Coornhert’s writings, as well as an up-to-date bibliography of the secondary literature; with 25 illustrations.

Constraint on Trial examines the life and thought of Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert (1522-1990). The self-made Coornhert was a notary, secretary, artist, poet, playwright, translator, theologian, but most of all, he was an intrepid controversialist, "born to contradict", indefatigable in his critique of the public church and sects. His main concern in polemics and disputations was the defense of freedom of conscience and advocacy of toleration. Coornhert's individualism made him eschew any restrictions on personal religious choice. His tolerationist writings, especially Synod on the Freedom of Conscience (1582) and Trial of the Killing of Heretics(1590), were rooted in his spiritualist belief system. He found inspiration in other protagonists of religious freedom, such as Sebastian Franck and Castellio, but his ideas were uniquely Coornhertian. He possessed an unrelenting drive to combat constraint, and regarded himself as "God's battering ram, meant to break down the prison of men's conscience".

Het is voor veel mensen steeds moeilijker om feit van fictie te onderscheiden, waarheid van leugen. Er wordt veel nepnieuws verspreid. Toch zijn veel mensen op zoek naar de waarheid. Dat was ook de humanist, filosoof en theoloog Coornhert, wiens vijfhonderdste geboortejaar dit jaar wordt gevierd. Coornhert zegt ergens: de waarheid mag dan wel van God komen, maar het zoeken naar de waarheid is niet alleen mensenwerk, maar ook een mensenplicht. Hij stelt dat alleen op basis van juiste kennis je een goed mens kan worden. Een mens is het dus aan zichzelf verplicht om betrouwbare (zelf)kennis te vergaren. Coornhert riep op om kritisch te zijn en bijvoorbeeld gezagsdragers niet te gauw te geloven. En hij vond ook dat we ons niet altijd bij de meerderheid hoeven aan te sluiten. 00Coornhert was ook prentmaker, die zijn kunstenaarschap in dienst stelde van het verspreiden en toelichten van zijn denkbeelden. In dit boekje maken we kennis met een aantal van zijn prenten, waarmee Coornhert op fascinerende wijze zijn medemens de weg wijst naar de waarheid en op basis daarvan een goed, ja ?volmaakt? mens te worden. Het boekje is gebaseerd op het onderzoek dat Emma de Jong voor haar dissertatie heeft verricht. Over dit thema heeft zij ook een tentoonstelling in Museum Haarlem verzorgd. Bijna vijfhonderd jaar oud zijn deze prenten, maar aan actualiteit en waarde hebben ze niets ingeboet. 00Exhibition: Gasthuis in Museum Haarlem, the Netherlands (15.4-31.5.2022).

Ethics written by Dirk Volkertszoon Coornhert and has been published by Uitgeverij Verloren this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015 with Conduct of life categories.
Ethics, published (anonymously) by Coornhert in 1586, is a remarkable publication for a number of reasons: it is the first work on ethics written in a European vernacular; it is a mature work, appearing four years before Coornhert’s death, and summarizes a lifetime of writing and thinking about the good life; it is considered to be fundamentally pagan because of the absence in Zedekunst of biblical references or any direct mention of Christ. Asked why he did not write about such things as the future establishment of God’s kingdom on earth, Coornhert answered: ‘Because I have a greater desire to learn how to live well, than to learn how to know much.’ This is the first English translation of this important work. It will enhance our insight into the ethical outlook of this prominent freethinker and controversialist of the early Dutch Republic. Also available in E-book: ISBN 9789087045586.

De veelzijdige humanist D.V. Coornhert (1522-1590) was vanwege zijn radicale ideeën reeds tijdens zijn leven een veelbesproken man. Zo noemde de hervormer Calvijn hem 'de botte Hollander'. Behalve theoloog was hij ook toneelschrijver, dichter, ethicus en taalvernieuwer. Hij werd aangevallen als pelagiaan, warhoofd, verkondiger van een heidense zedenleer. 'Geboren voor de contramine' was hij een 'wondre ijveraar', 'onverdraagzaam in den naam der verdragelijkheid', een van de grootste vijanden van de gereformeerde kerk, een dolle hond, dronkaard en ezel, een hypocriet en 'valse broeder', heresiarch en libertijn. Maar men loofde hem ook als de Cato van de Reformatie, de Socrates en Cicero van Nederland, aartsvijand van gewetensdwang en grootste kampioen in de strijd om godsdienstvrijheid, 'een man van ongemeene talenten', apostel der volmaakbaarheid en erasmiaans humanist. Deze studie laat zien hoe Coornhert, een vat vol tegenstrijdigheden, de gemoederen tot op de dag van vandaag heeft beziggehouden.
