De Nederlandse Gouden Eeuw was niet alleen een bloeiperiode voor handel, economie, schilder- en dichtkunst, maar ook voor de natuurwetenschap. Het werk van Hollandse geleerden als Huygens, Swammerdam en Van Leeuwenhoek maakte in heel Europa veel indruk, en de Leidse medische faculteit trok studenten uit alle windstreken. Buitenlanders die ons land bezochten, bejubelden niet alleen de Hollandse schilderkunst, maar ook de wijze waarop hier de wetenschap bedreven werd. Het verrichten van natuuronderzoek en het nadenken over de natuur was geen bezigheid van enkele geïsoleerd opererende 'Helden van de Geest', maar was nauw verbonden met het dagelijks leven van velen. Navigatiedeskundigen en predikanten bestudeerden de hemelloop, burgemeesters en artsen legden rariteitenverzamelingen aan, schilders en dichters waren gefascineerd door insekten en schelpen, alchemisten en natuurfilosofen speculeerden over de bouw van het universum en als er een walvis aanspoelde of de zon verduisterde, was het hele land in rep en roer. In dit vlot geschreven boek toont Eric Jorink de verwevenheid van het natuuronderzoek tussen circa 1570 en 1730 met het beeld dat in brede lagen van de bevolking bestond over de samenhang tussen de kosmos en de mens. Uiteraard besteedt hij daarbij ruime aandacht aan de veranderende opvattingen over doel en methode van de wetenschap en de veranderende concepties over de bouw van het heelal of de anatomie van insekten. Maar ook wordt uitgebreid ingegaan op het geloof in astrologie, het belang van de ontdekkingsreizen, op de relatie tussen religie en wetenschap, op rariteitenverzamelingen, discussies over het bestaan van de eenhoorn en veranderende opvattingen over de betekenis van kometen.

Until well into the nineteenth century, Frederik Ruysch enjoyed international fame as an anatomist. He owed his renown to a preparation method that greatly aided early-modern scientists in their exploration of the human body and transformed dissection from a messy business into a widely admired art.

This monograph details the entire scientific thought of an influential natural philosopher whose contributions, unfortunately, have become obscured by the pages of history. Readers will discover an important thinker: Burchard de Volder. He was instrumental in founding the first experimental cabinet at a European University in 1675. The author goes beyond the familiar image of De Volder as a forerunner of Newtonianism in Continental Europe. He consults neglected materials, including handwritten sources, and takes into account new historiographical categories. His investigation maps the thought of an author who did not sit with an univocal philosophical school, but critically dealt with all the ‘major’ philosophers and scientists of his age: from Descartes to Newton, via Spinoza, Boyle, Huygens, Bernoulli, and Leibniz. It explores the way De Volder’s un-systematic thought used, rejected, and re-shaped their theories and approaches. In addition, the title includes transcriptions of De Volder's teaching materials: disputations, dictations, and notes. Insightful analysis combined with a trove of primary source material will help readers gain a new perspective on a thinker so far mostly ignored by scholars. They will find a thoughtful figure who engaged with early modern science and developed a place that fostered experimental philosophy.

How did painters and their public speak about art in Rembrandt's age? This book about the writings of the painter-poet Samuel van Hoogstraten, one of Rembrandt's pupils, examines a wide variety of themes from painting practice and theory from the Dutch Golden Age. It addresses the contested issue of 'Dutch realism' and its hidden symbolism, as well as Rembrandt's concern with representing emotions in order to involve the spectator. Diverse aspects of imitation and illusion come to the fore, such as the theory behind sketchy or 'rough' brushwork and the active role played by the viewer's imagination. Taking as its starting point discussions in Rembrandt's studio, this unique study provides an ambitious overview of Dutch artists' ideas on painting.

The oldest and most renowned Dutch university, Leiden was an attractive proposition for travelling foreign students in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Alongside offering an excellent academic program and outstanding facilities, Leiden was also able to cater to the desires of noble students providing various extra-curricular activities. Leiden was the most popular continental university among English students, and this book investigates the 831 English students who studied there between 1575 and 1650. The preference of English students for Leiden was, on the one hand, related to close Anglo-Dutch relations of the period, and these are investigated with respect to politics, economy, religion, culture, as well as to the large 'stranger' communities residing in the respective countries. On the other hand, Leiden's attraction resulted from its academic achievements, which are traced back to the conditions in the United Provinces, the limited influence of the Calvinist Church, Leiden's professors, as well as the university's facilities. The core of this study is an exhaustive quantitative study of the composition of the Leiden student population in general, and that of its English segment in particular. Information is provided on the duration of the studies of English students at Leiden, their age, social background and fields of study. We learn about the careers of English students both prior to and after their time at Leiden, and of the motivation that led the English to choose Leiden over other continental universities. More than a study of one group of students at one university, this book is a valuable contribution to the history of early modern universities and will appeal to a wide international readership interested in cultural and intellectual history as well as in Anglo-Dutch relations.
