Magna Commoditas
"Leiden University Library has a long history of services around versatile collections and unique sources, dating back to the sixteenth century. The library has always been considered a great asset to the university, not only since the first library room was constructed in 1587, but even before, when founding father William of Orange, in 1575, donated the very first book. 'Magna Commoditas' not only presents numerous accessions that formed its famous special collections, but also the impact of the digital revolution. It describes the role of the library as one of the cultural centres that gave direction to the development and spread of knowledge during the Enlightenment as well as the efforts of a library continuously trying to meet the manifold challenges created by new developments in science and culture and by changing demands. 'Magna Commoditas' is a thoroughly researched story of the interaction between dozens of librarians and thousands of library visitors in past and present: from readers of chained books to current users of webservices."--Provided by publisher.
The Emergence of Tolerance in the Dutch Republic

En nu ben ik aan de beurt
Over de spiritualiteit van het sterven. Toen Christiane Berkvens-Stevelinck in 2006 kanker kreeg, had ze er eerder al twee echtgenoten aan verloren. Haar lichaam kwam de ziekte te boven, tot die in 2017 terugkeerde – nu definitief. In de laatste maanden van haar leven hield ze een dagboek bij. Hierin verhaalt zij van de gebeurtenissen in haar leven vanaf het moment dat ze te horen krijgt dat de kanker terug is en zij voorvoelt dat zij deze keer niet in staat is de ziekte te overwinnen. Ze deelt haar pijn en het verdriet en geeft een inkijkje in de manier waarop zij vrede sluit met haar naderende dood. De fragmenten geven een prachtig beeld van de gevoelens, gedachten en houvast die zij ervaart. Christiane Berkvens-Stevelinck (1946-2017) was conservator westerse handschriften van de universiteitsbibliotheek in Leiden, en achtereenvolgens remonstrants predikante in Delft, academiepredikante in Leiden en predikante van de remonstrantse kerk in Rotterdam. Eerder publiceerde zij onder meer Wat ik je nog zeggen wilde. Omgaan met mensen met kanker; Een witte stok met gps. Spiritualiteit van de beperking en Het intieme van alleen leven. Spiritualiteit van de single.

The Emergence of Tolerance in the Dutch Republic
This volume is the fruit of the colloquium "Les Pays-Bas, carrefour de la tolérance aux Temps Modernes", held in Wassenaar, the Netherlands, in 1994. Toleration in the strict sense of the word was very much against the grain of sixteenth-century European history. This volume charts the emergence and vicissitudes of the concept of tolerance and its practical implications in the Dutch Republic, from the revolt against Spain in the sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century. The various contributions, all by distinguished scholars, address such issues as Erasmus' views on toleration, the relation between tolerance and irenism, and the contemporary intellectual debate about toleration in the Dutch Republic. This important volume will prove indispensable to historians of the Low Countries, students of humanism and all those interested in the intellectual history of the 16th-18th centuries.

Reading Newton in Early Modern Europe
Reading Newton in Early Modern Europe investigates how Sir Isaac Newton’s Principia was read, interpreted and remodelled for a variety of readerships in eighteenth-century Europe. The editors, Mordechai Feingold and Elizabethanne Boran, have brought together papers which explore how, when, where and why the Principia was appropriated by readers in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, England and Ireland. Particular focus is laid on the methods of transmission of Newtonian ideas via university textbooks and popular works written for educated laymen and women. At the same time, challenges to the Newtonian consensus are explored by writers such as Marius Stan and Catherine Abou-Nemeh who examine Cartesian and Leibnizian responses to the Principia. Eighteenth-century attempts to remodel Newton as a heretic are explored by Feingold, while William R. Newman draws attention to vital new sources highlighting the importance of alchemy to Newton. Contributors are: Catherine Abou-Nemeh, Claudia Addabbo, Elizabethanne Boran, Steffen Ducheyne, Moredechai Feingold, Sarah Hutton, Juan Navarro-Loidi, William R. Newman, Luc Peterschmitt, Anna Marie Roos, Marius Stan, and Gerhard Wiesenfeldt.
The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism
The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism is a comprehensive treatment of a relatively new form of scholarship-one of the most compelling and contested theories to emerge in recent times, and a topic that actively seeks to expand the ways in which the Bible can be studied, interpreted, and applied. Generally speaking, postcolonialism aims to critique and dismantle hegemonic worldviews and power structures, while giving voice to previously marginalized peoples and systems of thought. This approach, often varied in form, has inevitably engaged with the text and reception of the Bible, a scripture that Western colonizers introduced to-and often imposed upon-their colonial subjects. With a globally diverse list of contributors, the Handbook aims to cover the perspective and context of the authors of the Bible, as well as the modern experiences of imperialism, resistance, decolonization, and nationalism. Moreover, the volume includes both a theoretical overview and an exploration of how the field intersects with related areas, such as gender studies, race, postmodernism, and liberation theology.
