AbstractIn recent decades, interest in Neo-Latin studies shows a distinct upward tendency. Still, the poetry of Dutch humanists constitutes a literature which is difficult to access. However, much work has been done in the past years to open up the poetry of Hugo Grotius. Within a few years the first phase of the edition in the series De Dichtwerken van Hugo Grotius will have been completed with the publication of the juvenilia, the poetry written between 1591 and 1608. Consequently, a well-rounded whole of Grotius' poetry will have become accessible for research and systematic reference. In the meantime, as no in-depth study of Grotius' poetry as preserved in manuscript form and printed edition has ever been undertaken before, a first attempt of closer research and a systematic inventory of the material provided a mass of new data. This led to the repudiation of quite a few traditional conceptions concerning the nature and merits of Grotius' poetical efforts and the correlation of the respective editions of poems. Some major results of this research are presented here in general outline. They are all enlarged on in full detail in my Grotius Poeta (The Hague 1981) and Inventory of the Poetry of Hugo Grotius (Assen 1982). Reference is made to both of these works throughout this article, which has no claims for itself but to offer an overall picture by means of an introductory essay. Therefore footnotes are omitted here altogether.

Hugo Grotius says, at the close of Chapter XVII, Book III, of his work De jure belli ac pacis, that it may be advantageous (for a neutral) to make a convention with each of the belligerents so that it may be allowed to abstain from the war with the consent of both sides. This opinion of the father of the law of nations might be deemed to be well reasoned in 1625, but it reads very strangely in 1908.

AbstractThe present number of Oud-Holland is the first one to appear as publication of the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, The Hague. The ever increasing exploitation losses have obliged our long-time publishers De Bussy & Co. to end their publication activities for the periodical. The editors greatly regret the termination of the ties with the firm of De Bussy. On the other hand, they appreciate very much the new lease of life accorded to Oud-Holland in consequence of the decision of Mr. P. J. Engels, Minister van Ctiltuur, Recreatie en Maatschappelijk Werk, to increase the Rijksbureau's budget with a sum covering exploitation costs of Oud-Holland as a publication of this state institute. After a short survey of the history of Oud-Holland follows a discussion of the critical financial situation which forced suspension of appearance throughout 7972 and which necessitated the above indicated changes, including an altered team of editors. As regards editing policy, they plan to broaden out the field covered by Oud-Holland chronologically, removing any restriction of period. While therefore, strictly speaking, the name of Oud-Holland is no longer quite applicable, it will be maintained for a number of reasons. Pubiishing findings of the Rijksbureau's staff, Oud-Holland will offer to the reader among other things a great many short notices of purely factual nature. Contributions by fellow students qf Netherlandish art will be welcome as ever and are cordially invited. In order to increase our circulation, the yearly subscription rate is reduced to f 50, -, while for subscriptions outside the Netherlands an additional f 0, 00 is charged for postage and packing. You are invited to support Oud-Holland by continuing your subscription, resp. by becoming a subscriber now.
