Russia and the Dutch Republic, 1566–1725
Russia and the Dutch Republic, 1566–1725: A Forgotten Friendship outlines how the Netherlands had an outsized impact on the early development of Russia into a Great Power in the course of the seventeenth century. Although this influence is usually associated with Peter the Great’s reign, the author argues that much of it predates Peter’s accession to the tsarist throne. Kees Boterbloem explores the origins and development of the narrow ties the United Provinces (Dutch Republic) and the Russian Empire maintained in the early modern age, weighing their political, military, economic, and cultural significance for world history.

Death Defied
From around 1650 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. Ruysch’s anatomical collection was one of Amsterdam’s tourist attractions, for his embalmed bodies were astonishingly lifelike in appearance. The visitors who gazed with amazement at his preparations included the Russian tsar Peter the Great, who was so moved by the sight of an embalmed boy that he kneeled down to kiss him. The tsar later bought Ruysch’s entire collection and had all the specimens shipped to St Petersburg, where they still attract visitors from all over the world.
Zentralstaat und Provinz im frühneuzeitlichen Nordosteuropa
Die Untersuchung beleuchtet das Interaktionsverhältnis von Zentralstaat und Provinz im frühneuzeitlichen Nordosteuropa am Beispiel der schwedischen und russländischen Herrschaft über die 'Ostseeprovinzen' Estland, Livland, Ingermanland, Kexholms län und Alt-Finnland vom 16. bis zum beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert. Im Mittelpunkt der Darstellung steht die Frage, ob und mit welchen Mitteln der frühneuzeitliche schwedische und russländische Staat in der Lage waren, die Ostseeprovinzen für ihre Zwecke funktional einzubinden und die dort lebende Bevölkerung in das Staatsganze zu integrieren. Beantwortet wird diese Frage mit Hilfe eingehender Analysen der administrativen, rechtlichen, justizi...
Dutch Deltas
In Dutch Deltas, Werner Scheltjens examines the emergence, functions and structure of the Low Countries’ maritime transport system between ca. 1300 and 1850. Scheltjens introduces the delta as a suitable geographical unit of analysis for understanding the regional economic origins of communities of maritime transporters. The author proves that changes in maritime trade networks and in the structure of regional economies entailed a process of specialisation, which led to the emergence of ‘professional’ maritime transport communities and the development of an integrated maritime transport market with Amsterdam and Rotterdam as its main centres. Dutch Deltas offers the first comprehensive study of the economic geography of the Low Countries’ maritime transport sector and its long-term development between 1300 and 1850.
