The Whole World in a Book
The 19th century saw a new wave of dictionaries, many of which remain household names. Those dictionaries didn't just store words; they represented imperial ambitions, nationalist passions, religious fervor, and utopian imaginings. This volume shows how 19th-century lexicography continues to influence how we speak, write, and think in the 21st century.
Involving Readers
This volume explores how and by whom early modern Dutch Bibles were used. Through a detailed analysis of paratextual features and readers’ traces in over 180 surviving Bible copies, Renske Hoff displays how individuals manifested their faith in owning, reading, and personalising the Bible, in a period characterised by religious turmoil. From nuns and countesses to tailors and merchants: Bibles were read by a diverse public. Printer-publishers shaped the contents and paratextual features of their Bible editions to suit the varied wishes of the reading public. Readers themselves added marginalia, corrected the text, or pasted texts and images in their books, displaying their creativity as users as well as stressing the malleability of the material Bible.
The Beloved Mothertongue
During the long nineteenth century, the Herderian motto that language reflects the soul of the nation proved to be a pivotal agent in forming ethnies, nations and national territories as well as in excluding linguistic minorities. In the spring of 2005, the Groningen Research School for the Study of the Humanities hosted a workshop on the subject of Ethnolinguistic nationalism in the Netherlands, Flanders and the Scandinavian countries. The workshop was organized and attended by a select, interdisciplinary group of scholars whose papers are presented in this volume, XXXIII in the series Groningen Studies in Cultural Change. The volume opens with introductory and theoretical surveys on the theme of nationalism, followed by critical surveys of each of the above-mentioned regions and nations. The contributions to the volume consist of the discussion and development of some interesting new fields of research on the subject.

Adventuring in Dictionaries: New Studies in the History of Lexicography brings together seventeen papers on the making of dictionaries from the sixteenth century to the present day. The first five treat English and French lexicography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Heberto Fernandez and Monique Cormier discuss the outside matter of French–English bilingual dictionaries; Kusujiro Miyoshi re-assesses the influence of Robert Cawdrey; John Considine uncovers the biography of Henry Cockeram; Antonella Amatuzzi discusses Pierre Borel’s use of his predecessors; and Fredric Dolezal investigates multi-word units in the dictionary of John Wilkins and William Lloyd.

Onder het mom van satire
Satire is een ongrijpbaar fenomeen. Satirische teksten en cartoons onttrekken zich gedurig aan eenduidige interpretaties en weten ernst en vrolijkheid op een vernuftige manier door elkaar te mengen. "Onder het mom van satire" brengt de werking van dit ongrijpbare verschijnsel nader in kaart, specifiek binnen de context van de roerige laatste decennia van de achttiende eeuw: de Patriottentijd (1780-1787) en de Bataafse Tijd (1795-1806). Centraal staan twee casussen uit het domein van de periodieke opiniepers: een reeks ‘toverlantaarns’ en ‘rarekieks’ uit de jaren 1782-1783 en de almanak-pastiche "De Lantaarn" (1792-1801) van Pieter van Woensel. Via een brede culturele analyse van deze bronnen komen diverse aspecten van het satirische spel aan bod, waaronder de rol van de satiricus, de impact van satire op het publieke debat en de functie van de satirische techniek van de parodie.

The Miracle of Amsterdam
The Miracle of Amsterdam presents a “cultural biography” of a Dutch devotional manifestation. According to tradition, on the night of March 15, 1345, a Eucharistic host thrown into a burning fireplace was found intact hours later. A chapel was erected over the spot, and the citizens of Amsterdam became devoted to their “Holy Stead." From the original Eucharistic processions evolved the custom of individual devotees walking around the chapel while praying in silence, and the growing international pilgrimage site contributed to the rise and prosperity of Amsterdam. With the arrival of the Reformation, the Amsterdam Miracle became a point of contention between Catholics and Protestants, and the changing fortunes of this devotion provide us a front-row seat to the challenges facing religion in the world today. Caspers and Margry trace these transformations and their significance through the centuries, from the Catholic medieval period through the Reformation to the present day.
Tot publijcque dienst der studie
Dit is een boek waarin een kleine honderd boeken worden voorgesteld door evenzovele wetenschappers, afkomstig uit binnen- en buitenland en gespecialiseerd in de meest uiteenlopende disciplines. Ze maken deel uit van de veel omvangrijker collectie van de Bibliotheca Thysiana, gevestigd te Leiden, die in 1653 bij testament werd gesticht door Johannes Thysius (1622-1653). Thysius was een telg uit een welgestelde, protestantse familie afkomstig uit de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, die aan het eind van de zestiende eeuw naar de Nederlandse Republiek was gevlucht. Tijdens zijn korte leven slaagde hij erin een imposante boekencollectie bijeen te brengen, waarin alle belangrijke wetenschapsgebieden van zijn tijd vertegenwoordigd waren. In zijn testament gaf Thysius aan dat er een speciaal pand moest worden gebouwd waarin zijn bibliotheek zou worden ondergebracht, zodat de boeken beschikbaar zouden zijn tot publijcque dienst der studie. In dat gebouw op de hoek van het Rapenburg en de Groenhazengracht, ontworpen door de Leidse stadsarchitect Arent van ’s-Gravesande, is de collectie nog altijd gehuisvest.
