Johan Huizinga, one of the founders of cultural history, was Professor of History at Leiden University from 1915 until 1942. His famous work Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen will celebrate its centenary next year and his historical approach and style have influenced many historians. Our publishing house aims to build on his legacy through a strong list of history books. Realm between Empires by Wim Klooster and Gert Oostindie presents a fresh look at the history of the eighteenth-century Dutch Atlantic. That celebrity culture is not a recent phenomenon shows Rick Honings' book on literary celebrity in the Netherlands of the nineteenth century. In his Islam, Humanity and the Indonesian Identity Ahmad Syafii Maarif emphasizes the importance of reflecting on history for understanding contemporary issues. Through this English translation the viewpoints of one of Indonesia’s most prominent intellectuals is made available to a wider public. The Operations of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies and the Bay of Bengal, translated from Japanese, provides English readership with an important historical source on the Japanese Navy’s military campaign in Indonesia during the Second World War.

Rick Honings

Star Authors in the Age of Romanticism Literary Celebrity in the Netherlands Although there has always been a fascination for famous people, the invention of modern celebrity culture goes back to the nineteenth century. During Romanticism the position of the author changed, but also that of the public with the phenomenon of the fan and associated fandom coming into existence. In Star Authors in the Age of Romanticism Dutch literary celebrity culture is analysed and embedded in the international discourse on this subject. Internationally, scholarly attention has over the last years been given to literary celebrity. This book supplies the Dutch dynamic to the international discourse on the development of literary celebrity by focusing on five famous Dutch authors from the nineteenth century: Willem Bilderdijk, Hendrik Tollens, Nicolaas Beets, François HaverSchmidt (alias Piet Paaltjens) and Eduard Douwes Dekker (better known as Multatuli). Translated from Dutch by Annemarié van Niekerk.

Ahmad Syafii Maarif

Islam, Humanity and the Indonesian Identity Reflections on History Islam exists in global history with its richly variegated cultural and social realities. When these specific cultural contexts are marginalized, Islam is reduced to an ahistorical religion without the ability to contribute to humanity. This limited understanding of Islam has been a contributing factor in many of the violent conflicts in the present day. Reflecting on Islam in Indonesia, the world’s third largest democracy, supporting the largest Muslim population, Ahmad Syafii Maarif argues for an understanding that is both faithful to Islam’s essential teachings and open to constantly changing social and cultural contexts. Building on this, he then addresses critical contemporary issues such as democracy, human rights, religious freedom, the status of women, and the future of Islam. Through this book the breadth and depth of the ideas of one of Indonesia’s foremost Muslim scholars are made accessible in English. Ahmad Syafii Maarif is professor emeritus at Yogyakarta State University and founder of the MAARIF Institute for Culture and Humanity. He was the chairman of Muhammadiyah from 1998 to 2005.

Are Islam and democracy compatible in a 21st century nation-state? This book’s unequivocal answer is yes. Its author, Ahmad Syafii Maarif, for decades Indonesia’s most distinguished Muslim thinker, develops here his most authoritative argument. His answer is at once theologically sophisticated and deeply rooted in the Indonesian experience. Indeed, as a prominent public intellectual, university professor, and leader of

Willem Remmelink (ed.)

The Operations of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies and the Bay of Bengal

Between 1966 and 1980, the War History Office of the National Defense College of Japan (now the Center for Military History of the National Institute for Defense Studies) published the 102-volume Senshi Sōsho (War History Series). These volumes give a detailed account of the operations of the Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War.

Compiled by The War History Office of the National Defense College of Japan

The present volume, The Operations of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies and the Bay of Bengal, volume 26 of the series, describes the Japanese Navy’s role in the campaign to gain control over the Indonesian archipelago – at that time the largest transoceanic landing operation in the military history of the world. It includes, among others, the first complete Japanese analysis of the Battle of the Java Sea, a much-debated battle that ended disastrously for the Allies and opened the way to Java for the Japanese.

Wim Klooster

Tussen honger en zwaard Nederlands Atlantische rijk in de zeventiende eeuw Dat de Nederlanders in de zeventiende eeuw in Azië aan een koloniaal rijk bouwden weet iedereen. Het is veel minder bekend dat hetzelfde ook in het Atlantische gebied gebeurde. In Tussen honger en zwaard laat Wim Klooster zien dat het Atlantische imperium van de Republiek een grote verscheidenheid aan regio’s omvatte: de Afrikaanse Goudkust, eilanden in het Caribisch gebied, een lange strook langs de Noordamerikaanse oostkust en Brazilië. Dit imperium was niet alleen het werk van Nederlanders, maar kwam tot stand met behulp van Afrikanen, Inheemsen en allerlei Europeanen. De parel in de kroon van dit imperium was Brazilië, een Portugese kolonie waarvan ongeveer de helft in Nederlandse handen viel. Daardoor gingen Nederlanders zich voor het eerst op grote schaal bezighouden met de transatlantische slavenhandel. Tegelijkertijd stelde Nederlands Brazilië joden voor het eerst in staat om in de Nieuwe Wereld hun geloof in vrijheid te belijden. Uiteindelijk ging Brazilië voor de Nederlanders verloren, mede doordat soldaten in Nederlandse dienst, gekweld door armoede, honger en ellende, weigerden de wapens op te nemen. Wim Klooster is hoogleraar geschiedenis aan Clark University in Worcester (Verenigde Staten). Hij heeft elf boeken op zijn naam staan, waaronder Realm between Empires: The Second Dutch Atlantic, 1680-1815 (samen met Gert Oostindie, 2018) en Revolutions in the Atlantic World: A Comparative History (nieuwe editie, 2018).

Met The Dutch Moment heeft Wim Klooster een meesterlijk boek geschreven over de Nederlandse aanwezigheid in het zeventiende-eeuwse Atlantische gebied. Met zijn studie draagt hij op tal van niveaus bij aan diverse geschiedschrijvingen. Klooster ontdoet de imperialistische expansie van haar glorierijke imago en laat zien dat geweld, leed en bloedvergieten de kern vormden van de rijksuitbreiding. Deze gedetailleerde verhalen, geschetst tegen de achtergrond van de bredere Atlantische ontwikkelingen, maken The Dutch Moment tot een zeer aanbevelens waardig boek, ook voor gebruik in het onderwijs. – Bram Hoonhout, Universiteit Leiden.

Willem Otterspeer

The Bastion of Liberty A History of Leiden University Leiden University was founded as an institution that would embody a particular set of academic ethics that sought to improve society through the acquisition of knowledge. In this book, author Willem Otterspeer draws on the idea of Leiden as 'a “bastion of liberty”' and proposes that concepts such as 'equilibrium' and 'scale' are key to understanding the university as an institution, ultimately showing how universities are a form of social capital, one of Western society’s answers to the dilemma of collective action, and an instrument for preserving and restoring continuity in the world. The Bastion of Liberty offers a complete overview of the history of the University of Leiden since 1875 and therefore covers more than four centuries of the development of this nowadays internationally renowned academic institution. Revised edition.

Willem Otterspeer is professor emeritus of university history at Leiden University.

Willem Otterspeer

In Praise of Ambiguity Erasmus, Huizinga and the Seriousness of Play In Praise of Ambiguity presents a discourse about the seriousness of play. Erasmus and Huizinga are its main characters, their books In Praise of Folly (1511) and Homo Ludens (1938) its main subject. It treats those books as contemporaries and asks what they still have to say to us. The main theme of both books is the contrast between two attitudes of life: the conviction that each subject has two or more sides as opposed to the certainty that there is always only one side to the matter. It is relativism versus essentialism, play versus seriousness. In these times of populism and fundamentalism the relationship between play and seriousness is more significant than ever. Erasmus and Huizinga conceived a compromise as brilliant as it was paradoxical: turn seriousness into play, play into seriousness. Their solution is the life blood of literature. Literature is always paradoxical, always ‘true’ and ‘not true’ at the same time, both reality and fiction. Ambiguity is its home territory. Literature is the best answer to the purity and peremptoriness of prophets. Translated from Dutch by Vivien Collingwood.

HISTORY

Johan Huizinga

Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen Jubileumeditie Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen van Johan Huizinga verscheen voor het eerst in 1919. Honderd jaar later geniet Herfsttij terecht een onverminderde populariteit. Het boek is een van de grootste en meeslependste klassieke geschiedwerken. Zowel in binnen- als buitenland is er grote waardering voor Huizinga’s werk – niet alleen vanwege zijn inlevingsvermogen in de geschiedenis en zijn cultuurhistorische visie, maar ook omwille van zijn prachtige taalgebruik. Herfsttij is in meer dan twintig talen vertaald. In deze gebonden, rijk geïllustreerde jubileum uitgave van Herfsttij kan de lezer bij de tekst de kunstwerken zien die door Huizinga genoemd worden. Naast de bekende meesterwerken van Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden en tijdgenoten zijn ook de door hem gebruikte literaire werken met miniaturen uit de handschriften afgebeeld. Zoveel mogelijk van wat door Huizinga in de tekst is genoemd wordt in beeld gebracht, waardoor het boek meer dan 300 illustraties in kleur bevat. Initiator en hoofdredacteur van deze jubileum editie is Dr. Anton van der Lem, Huizingaspecialist en verbonden aan de Universitaire Bibliotheken Leiden als conservator oude drukken. In zijn nawoord Honderd jaar Herfsttij zet hij de receptiegeschiedenis van Herfsttij uiteen. Door hem is het boek nu ook voor het eerst voorzien van een volledig uitgewerkte bibliografie.

gebleven is, bewijst het feit, dat men haar parodieerde: Molinet beproeft zijn luim aan een negental ‘preux de gourmandise’ [helden in gulzigheid]26. Nog Frans i kleedde zich af en toe ‘à l’antique’ om een der preux voor te stellen27. Deschamps heeft evenwel nog op een andere wijze dan door de aanvulling met vrouwelijke pendanten de voorstelling uitgebreid. Hij verbond die verering voor oude heldendeugd aan het heden, plaatste haar in de sfeer van het opkomende Franse militaire patriottisme, door aan de negen een tijden landgenoot als tiende preux toe te voegen: Bertrand du Guesclin28. Ook dat denkbeeld had succes: Lodewijk van Orleans liet in de grote zaal van Coucy het beeld van de dappere connétable als tiende der preux opnemen29. Het was met reden, dat Orleans de gedachtenis van Du Guesclin een bijzondere zorg wijdde; hij zelf was door de connétable ten doop gehouden, en deze had hem daarbij een zwaard in de hand gegeven. Als tiende in de rij der vrouwen verwacht men Jeanne d’Arc. Inderdaad heeft men haar in de vijftiende eeuw die rang toegedacht. Louis de Laval, stiefkleinzoon van Du Guesclin, en broeder van Jeanne d’Arcs strijdmakkers, gaf zijn kapelaan Sébastien Mamerot opdracht, een geschiedenis der negen helden

en negen heldinnen te schrijven, met Du Guesclin en Jeanne d’Arc als tienden. Doch in het in handschrift bewaarde werk van Mamerot ontbreken beide namen30, en men vindt geen teken, dat het denkbeeld, wat Jeanne d’Arc betreft, opgang heeft gemaakt. [4.7] De nationaal-militaire heldenverering, die in Frankrijk in de vijftiende eeuw opkomt, hecht zich in de eerste plaats aan de figuur van de dappere en berekenende Bretonse krijgsman. Allerlei veldoversten, die naast of tegen Jeanne hadden gestreden, nemen in de verbeelding der tijdgenoten veel groter en eervoller plaats in dan het boerenmeisje uit Domrémy. Velen spreken van haar nog zonder aandoening of verering, meer als een curiositeit. Chastellain, die zijn Bourgondische gevoelens, als het pas gaf, merkwaardig opzij wist te zetten voor een pathetisch Frans loyalisme, dicht een ‘mystère’ op de dood van Karel Vii, waarin al de aanvoerders, die in ’s konings dienst de Engelsen bestreden hebben, als een eregalerij van dapperen, een strofe zeggen, die hun daden vermeldt: Dunois, Jean de Bueil, Xaintrailles, La Hire zijn er bij, en tal van minder bekenden31.

DE ST I LER I NG DER LI EFDE

sederT de provençaalse troubadours der twaalfde eeuw het eerst de melodie van het onbevredigd verlangen hadden aangeheven, hadden de violen van het liefdelied al hoger en hoger gezongen, totdat alleen Dante het instrument meer zuiver bespelen kon. Het was een der gewichtigste wendingen van de middeleeuwse geest geweest, toen hij voor het eerst een liefdesideaal ontwikkelde met een negatieve grondtoon. De oudheid had voorzeker ook het smachten en de smarten der liefde bezongen; maar was toch eigenlijk daar het smachten niet enkel gezien als het uitstel en de prikkel der zekere vervulling? En in het droef-eindend liefdeverhaal der oudheid was niet de verijdeling van het verlangen het stemmingsmoment, maar de wrede scheiding der reeds vereende gelieven door de dood, zoals bij Cephalus en Procris, bij Pyramus en Thisbe. De aandoening van droefheid lag er niet in de erotische onbevredigdheid, maar in het treurig lotgeval. Eerst in de hoofse minne der troubadours is de onbevredigdheid zelf hoofdzaak geworden. Er was een erotische gedachtenvorm geschapen, die vatbaar was om een overvloed van ethisch gehalte in zich op te nemen, zonder daarom ooit het verband met de natuurlijke vrouwenliefde geheel op te geven. Uit de zinnelijke liefde zelf was voortgesproten de edele vrouwendienst zonder aanspraak op vervulling. Nu werd de liefde het veld, waarop men alle esthetische en zedelijke volmaking bloeien liet. De edele minnaar naar de theorie der hoofse min wordt door zijn liefde deugdzaam en rein. Het geestelijke element neemt in die lyriek steeds meer de overhand; ten slotte is de uitwerking der liefde een staat van heilige kennis en vroomheid: la vita nuova. Toen moest een nieuwe wending komen. In de dolce stil nuovo van Dante en zijn tijdgenoten was een uiterste bereikt. Petrarca staat alweer weifelend tussen het ideaal der vergeestelijkte hoofse liefde en de nieuwe inspiratie der oudheid. En van Petrarca naar Lorenzo de’Medici neemt in Italië het minnelied de weg terug naar de natuurlijke zinnelijkheid, die ook de bewonderde antieke modellen doordrong. Het kunstig uitgewerkte systeem der hoofse min was weder prijsgegeven. In Frankrijk en de landen, die onder de ban van Frankrijks geest stonden, was de wending anders gekomen. De ontwikkeling der erotische gedachte sedert de hoogste bloei der hoofse lyriek is er minder eenvoudig. De vormen van het systeem blijven van kracht, maar vullen zich met andere geest. Daar had, nog voordat de Vita nuova de eeuwige harmonie vond van een vergeestelijkte passie, de Roman de la rose nieuwe inhoud gegoten in de vormen der hoofse min. [8.1, 8.2] Ongeveer twee eeuwen lang heeft het werk van Guillaume de Lorris en Jean Clopinel (of Chopinel)1 de Meun, begonnen vóor 1240 en vóor 1280 voltooid, niet alleen de vormen der aristocratische liefde volkomen beheerst, maar bovendien door zijn encyclopedische rijkdom aan uitweidingen op alle mogelijke gebieden de schatkamer opgeleverd, waaruit de beschaafde leken het levendste van hun geestelijke ontwikkeling putten. Het kan niet gewichtig genoeg worden geschat, dat aldus de heersende klasse van een gans tijdperk haar levenskennis en haar eruditie kreeg in het raam van een ars amandi. In geen andere tijd heeft

Een buitensporigheid als de klederdracht van 1350 tot 1480 vertoont, heeft de mode van later tijden niet weer te zien gegeven, althans niet in zo algemene en langdurige vorm. Er zijn ook later extravagante modes geweest, zoals de landsknechtendracht omstreeks 1520 en het Franse adellijke kostuum van omstreeks 1660, maar die teugelloze overdrijving en overlading, die de Frans-Bourgondische dracht een eeuw lang gekenmerkt heeft, blijft zonder voorbeeld. Hier ziet men, wat de schoonheidszin dier tijden, aan zijn ongestoorde drift overgelaten, wrocht. Een enkel hofkostuum wordt overladen met honderden edele stenen. Alle afmetingen worden tot in het belachelijke geoutreerd. Het vrouwenkapsel neemt de suikerbroodvorm van de ‘hennin’ aan: het haar wordt aan de slapen en bij de inplanting op het voorhoofd verwijderd of verborgen, om de zonderling gebombeerde voorhoofden te vertonen, die als schoon golden; het decolleté is plotseling begonnen. Doch in de mannenkleding zijn de buitensporigheden nog talrijker. Hier heeft men de lange schoenpunten of ‘poulaines’, die de ridders bij Nicopolis zich moesten afsnijden, om te kunnen vluchten, de ingesnoerde middels, de ballonachtig opgepofte mouwen, die bij de schouders omhoog staan, de houppelandes, die tot op de voeten hangen, en de buizen zo kort, dat zij de billen zichtbaar laten; de hoge puntige of cilindervormige mutsen en hoeden, de kaproenen wonderlijk om het hoofd

Van den Akker argues that the social role of cultural anthropologists and archaeologists is to contribute to the ongoing process of cultural healing and spiritual recovery of the peoples that suffer(ed) from colonization and oppression. This study therefore places an emphasis on cultural continuity and approaches the continuation of Maya 9 789087as 283094 calendar practices a possible tool for LUP restoring breaks in social memory, which are caused by dramatic events such as colonization. Throughout this book it is argued that time is an authority which directs human behaviour in a cyclical manner through the landscape on a local and regional scale. Time is related to morality and cultural values, and a shared perception of time contributes to the cohesion of the community as it recreates and reaffirms the identity of its members by reiterating their shared social conventions and history. Finally, the conjunction of time and ritual provides a tool to overcome the rupture caused by death and to transmit messages from generation to generation over a long span of time.

Spatial Patterns in Landscape Archaeology A GIS Procedure to Study Settlement Organization in Early Roman Colonial Territories This 43th volume of the ASLU series presents a useful GIS procedure to study settlement patterns in landscape archaeology. In several Mediterranean regions archaeological sites have been mapped by fieldwalking surveys, producing large amounts of data. These legacy site-based survey data represent an important resource to study ancient settlement organization. Methodological procedures are necessary to cope with the limits of these data, and more importantly with the distortions on data patterns caused by biasing factors. This book develops and applies a GIS procedure to use legacy survey data in settlement pattern analysis. It consists of two parts. One part regards the assessment of biases that can affect the spatial patterns exhibited by survey data. The other part aims to shed light on the location preferences and settlement strategy of ancient communities underlying site patterns. In this book, a case-study shows how the method works in practice. As part of the research by the Landscapes of Early Roman Colonization project (NWO, Leiden University, KNIR) site-based datasets produced by survey projects in central-southern Italy are examined in a comparative framework to investigate settlement patterns in the early Roman colonial period (3rd century B.C.).

Tiempo, Paisaje y Líneas de Vida en la Arqueología de Ñuu Savi La Mixteca, México This work focuses on the interpretation of the archaeological remains of the Mixtec culture in Southern Mexico on the basis of the knowledge, perceptions, economy and worldview of contemporary descendant communities. Concretely it presents extensive new archaeological and ethnographic data, which result from long-term fieldwork in the region. The present-day social life, narratives and ritual practices of the present-day Mixtec people (Ñuu Savi), for example, throw light on the important archaeological complex of Ancient Chalcatongo (Ñuu Ndaya), an extensive survey and reconstruction of which is presented here for the first time. The authors apply a new paradigm (the Great Line of Life), which seeks to decolonize the discipline in a flexible, relational, multifocal and holistic manner. This alternative archaeology is socially relevant because it combines the search for a deeper and broader scientific understanding with reinforcing the identification of contemporary Indigenous Peoples with their precolonial heritage. It is community-oriented and ethically based on respect the Indigenous Peoples’ rights, trying to contribute to a better quality of life.

Proportional Systems in the History of Architecture A Critical Reconsideration In this collection of original essays, twenty-six leading scholars reconsider the long history of proportional systems across numerous periods and places, and from diverse methodological approaches including archival exploration, advanced laser scanning, and more. Prior to the advent of modern structural engineering, architects and builders used proportional systems to imbue their works with a general condition of order that was integral to their intertwined notions of beauty and structural stability. These mostly invisible intellectual frameworks ranged from simple grids and symbolic numbers, to sly manipulations of geometry and numbers that required privileged knowledge and arithmetical calculations to access. Since the origins of architectural history, proportional systems have served as objects of belief and modes of iconographical communication. Whether they are capable of fulfilling more tangible functions remains a matter of debate today, for this ancient and diverse belief system continues to infiltrate architectural thinking in subtle and sometimes surprising ways.

China and the Barbarians Resisting the Western World Order Since time immemorial China regarded its culture and statecraft superior to other nations, but in the ‘Age of Humiliation’ (1839-1949), it was reduced to a semi-colony. The old empire has now regained its strength, but what drives its domestic and foreign policy? China calls itself a ‘Socialist’ country, but the appellation of philosopher Tu Weiming is more adequate: A battlefield of Socialism, Liberalism and Confucianism. The outcome of this struggle will have profound repercussions. Continuation of the present policy will only lead to more tensions: Beijing’s expansionist policies in the South China Sea and Eurasia (the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative) are aimed to restore the days of China’s imperial grandeur. If China choses a different political model that blends the Confucian tradition with a western style representative government, a clash with its neighbours and the United States can be avoided. China and the Barbarians offers a fascinating insight into the thinking of China’s philosophers and powerbrokers of the past and present. Interviews with eight prominent Chinese intellectuals add an authentic ring to this book. Translated from Dutch by John Eyck.

My Mother’s Mother’s Mother South African Women’s Writing from 17th Century Dutch to Contemporary Afrikaans For the first time more than seventy South African women’s voices, from 1652 until today, are collected and published in one volume. Initially we hear their voices in Dutch, then in different varieties of Afrikaans, bearing witness to the fascinating development of a new language. We share the joys and sorrows of these women; their entertaining, sometimes gruesome stories. The printing press arrived late at the Cape, and when it finally did, it took another century before the first publications by women came rolling from the press, initially with the strong influence of the Bible clearly audible. Gradually, as women started to receive a better education, a literature of world stature came into being in Afrikaans. Through the eyes of these women we can see the tumultuous history of South Africa passing by, from colonisation up to democracy. This book is crucial for researchers of language development and (historical) texts by women. It is also indispensable for everyone interested in world literature and its development – and in particular in South Africa. Sluit aan op het thema van de Boekenweek 2019.

A Journal of Three Months’ Walk in Persia in 1884 by Captain John Compton Pyne

Voyage of Discovery

In 1884 an obscure British soldier, having finished his tour of duty in India, decided to make a detour on his trip home in order to spend three months crossing Persia unaccompanied except for the local muleteers. Among his accoutrements he packed a small leatherbound sketchbook in which he not only wrote a journal but in which he also added accomplished and charming water-colour illustrations. The authors’ introduction contextualises this trip made in 1884 against the background of Persianate influence in British culture, and the general cultural background of late Victorian Britain is presented as the subliminal driver behind a young man’s desire to explore, and illustrate, an already discovered country – Persia.

In September 2017, Leiden University opened the Asian Library to house its world renowned and extensive Asian collections. This includes the largest collection on Indonesia worldwide and some of the foremost collections on South and Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and Korea. Voyage of Discovery contains more than twenty essays by academics, curators, and authors on their experiences with the Leiden collections.
