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.

Why did the Netherlands take part in the process of European integration from the beginning? How did that happen, and what consequences did it have? At present, questions like these linger immediately beneath the polished surface of the official narratives of economic rationalism and idealistic instrumentalism that dominate narratives about the Netherlands’ role as founding member of European integration. The clear no-vote in the 2005 referendum on the constitutional treaty for the EU and the outbreak of the Euro-crisis in 2010 have pulled the veil away from these underlying issues. As one of the founders of today’s European Union, the Netherlands has been a key player in the process of European integration. The Dutch like to think of themselves as shapers of European integration—matching their image in historiography—but the history of their participation in the European project often tells a very different story. Yes, as founders of the EU, the Dutch actively co-shaped European integration, but often in ways not unveiled in the official and rather consistent post facto narratives. In the past decades, governments in The Hague often steered an erratic course in European integration, trying to reconcile high hopes for instrumental free trade arrangements and transatlantic community with a deep-seated anxiety over the potential emergence of a small, continental, and politicized “fortress Europe.” This is a story that is both less known to the public and less prominent in the existing historiography.

Shed Light

Several readings of the codex Buslidianus of Statius are quoted from Bernartius (1595) and Gronovius (1653) in the recent edition by Hall, Ritchie and Edwards (2007-2008). This manuscript has not yet been identified, and the question whether Bernartius and Gronovius refer to the same manuscript or not has not been answered yet. By examining a collation made by Gronovius, it proves possible both to establish that the codex Buslidianus he used is a manuscript preserved at the Royal Library in The Hague (National Library of the Netherlands), and to suggest that Bernartius used the same source. These findings shed light on the history of the manuscript of The Hague, and they reveal that some readings of those folios that are now lost have been preserved by Gronovius. Plusieurs leçons du codex Buslidianus de Stace sont citées d’après Bernartius (1595) et Gronovius (1653) dans la récente édition de Hall, Ritchie et Edwards (2007-2008). Ce manuscrit n’a pas encore été identifié, et la question de savoir si les éditeurs anciens se réfèrent ou non au même manuscrit n’a pas encore trouvé réponse. L’examen d’une collation effectuée par Gronovius permet de démontrer que le codex Buslidianus qu’il a utilisé est un manuscrit conservé à la Bibliothèque Royale de La Haye (Bibliothèque Nationale des Pays-Bas), et de suggérer que Bernartius a utilisé la même source. Ces découvertes éclairent l’histoire du manuscrit de La Haye, et elles révèlent que certaines leçons de ses feuillets aujourd’hui perdus ont été préservées par Gronovius. This article is in French.

Several important events have marked the seventh year in the history of the Permanent Court of International Justice. The court was in session at The Hague from February 6, 1928, to April 26, 1928 (thirteenth session); from June 15, 1928, to September 13, 1928 (fourteenth session); and from November 12, 1928, to November 21, 1928 (fifteenth session). It handed down two advisory opinions (Nos. 15 and 16) and two judgments (Nos. 12 and 13), and several important orders. It lost the services of two eminent judges through the resignation of Judge John Bassett Moore and the death of Judge André Weiss. A settlement was reached with the Netherlands Government of the long-standing question as to the privileges and immunities of the judges and registry officials; and, what is perhaps more important for the court’s future, the signatories of the court’s protocol of signature began the consideration of changes in the court’s statute in the light of seven years’ experience. The seventh year marks progress in the establishment of the court’s position as the chief agency in the world for the international administration of justice, as it marks also changes which will affect the future of the court.

AbstractAmerican libraries began to be developed in the middle of the nineteenth century and were among the world's most prominent a century later. The remarkable history of the major libraries in North America, their European models and their strong and innovative leadership is reported here in more or less chronological sequence from the earliest efforts to about 1970, when the unprecedented growth came to an end. The building of the international library collections could not have been achieved without the enterprising efforts of many booksellers in England and on the European continent. Among those who made significant contributions, were three booksellers from the Netherlands: Frederik Muller, Martinus Nijhoff and Swets & Zeitlinger. This article describes their role, but concentrates on Martinus Nijhoff, publisher and bookseller of The Hague, who had by far the longest successful tenure in supplying American libraries with European books and periodicals. Between 1853 and 1971, three generations of the Nijhoff family – Martinus, Wouter and Wouter Pzn –, with their staff members, built one of the leading international publishing and bookselling houses in the Netherlands. Their legacy is permanently embedded in the collections of the great North American libraries.

This article discusses the formation of style in Soviet film studies of the late 1920s — early 1930s in the aspect of discussions on art movements and trends in Soviet cinema. Although there are some theoretical and historical film studies on the formation of style trends of that period, much less attention has been paid to the historiography of this matter. Because of the small number of comprehensive historiographic research on this topic, the author decides to study the process of forming classifications of those movements. This article uses traditional research methods, introduces new archival sources into scientific circulation for the first time; and its main tasks are the historiographic study of the subject and the analysis of its key concepts and provisions. The article examines the unity of style in Soviet film studies of the 1920s — early 1930s on the example of works by Nikolay Mikhailovich Iezuitov (1899—1941), one of the founders of Russian film studies, who proposed in 1933 a concept of Soviet cinema development, the main category of which was style. Linking the concepts of “style” and “art movement (trend)”, Iezuitov identified two styles: the one of socialist concepts and the other of socialist feelings. In this, Iezuitov followed the logic of the book “Art Movements in Soviet Cine­ma” (1930) by Adrian Piotrovsky (1898—1937) — the author of the “intellectual” and “emotional” film classification. Iezuitov’s concept was criticized, especially at the jubilee session of the Scientific and Research Sector of the State Institute of Cinematography (now VGIK) in 1934. In the same year, the first history of Soviet cinema “The Ways of Feature Film” was published. It regarded the movements and their contribution to the development of Soviet cinematography according to the criteria of innovation and realism. Socialist realism was declared a platform, a common style that included all the various trends and styles of Soviet cinema. Iezuitov, who died in the war in 1941, did not get a chance to complete his fundamental study “The History of Soviet Film Art”. The story of the victory of socialist rea­lism was declared one of the main tasks of the textbook, and the process of formation of socialist rea­lism became the content of the science of film history. The article shows that socialist realism, as a unity of diversities and contradictions, allowed Iezuitov, on the one hand, to adhere to its normative aesthetics and, on the other hand, to conduct a stylistic analysis of schools and specific movies within this aesthetics.

As highlighted by the post-Cartesian discourse across philosophical schools, Western thought had been struggling for a long time with conceiving interconnectedness. The problematic of Western dualism is most apparent with the so-called mind-body problem, but the issue does not only relate to the separation of body and mind but also the separation of living beings from their environments. Asian philosophy, on the other hand, has had a long history of thinking relations. The paper argues that an architectural philosophy that is open for a dialogue with Asian views would allow for a new approach to conceptualising the interconnectedness of minds, bodies, environments, and cultures. Linking Asian and Western aesthetics with a discourse on ecology, and setting it into dialogue with contemporary theories of architecture, the paper also refers torecent research on embodiment that is engaging from a new point of view with the natural sciences, and that appears to confirm positions of traditional Chinese philosophy. Reconsidering traditional Chinese art and aesthetics, the paper suggests, could initiate a new eco-poetic way of thinking the built environment and its design in favour of a future that is more than smart.

Abstract The History of International Law lacks systematic studies on the link between legal scholars and practices of justifying war. This missing analytical link has for a long time given the impression that legal scholars describe ‘state practice’ in an ‘objective’, unpolitical way. Contradicting this impression, the article turns to the politics of legal scholars in the genesis of the modern war discourse. It reflects on the fateful entanglement of violence, law and politics, but nevertheless distinguishes between ‘objective’ and ‘political’ scholarship on the basis of Hans Kelsen’s work. Furthermore, the article illustrates the politicisability of legal scholars in selected historical cases of the ‘long 19th century’ (1789–1918). In all cases, two hearts pounded in lawyers’ chests: one scientific, the other political. As will be shown, the modern war discourse is shaped by a phenomenon that enables scholars to expand the intrinsic limits to the political instrumentalisation of law: ‘multi-normativity’.

The heart as an image of deification in mystical writing

The paper explores two phenomena powerful in life and interpretive terms: the heart and deification. One is understood as deeply human, the other as metaphysically appealing. It is a connection present in the history of Christian thinking for a long time, since the heart is perceived as an inner space where God meets man, in the most intimate form, which can only acquire the character of unification. Deification, as the experience of Christian mystics and mystics shows, basically means the deepest unification with God and activation of the change in God’s love. The issue examined in the paper is presented in the form of a brief guide to the theological concept of deification, and also the convergence of the historical and biblical views of the heart. The core of thinking about the topic is the interpretation of the heart as an inner image the (heart as the center, exchange of hearts) and the interpretation of the phenomenality of deification in the context of written mystical experience.

The red blood-cell has been perhaps more frequently and fully examined than any other animal structure; certainly none has evoked such various and even contradictory opinions of its nature. But without attempting here any history of these, it may be shortly said that amongst the conclusions now, and for a long time past, generally accepted, a chief one is that a fundamental distinction exists between the red corpuscle of Mammalia and that of the other vertebrate classes—that the red cell of the oviparous vertebrata possesses a nucleus which is not to be found in the corpuscle of the other class. This great distinction between the classes has of late years been over and over again laid down in the strongest and most unqualified terms. But I venture to ask for a still further examination of this important subject.

ABSTRACTThis article reviews recent historical investigations of transitional trials held after the Second World War. It identifies three main strands of historiography. One group of studies has been dominated by the trials' participants who have shaped the perception of the trials' scope, their achievements, and their shortcomings, and pursued political, legal, or biographical agendas. A second group has treated the trials as a mere epilogue to the history of the deceased regimes. A third, more profound approach has conceptualized the trials as places where collective memory was assembled, configured, and shaped. This notion opens the debate to an analysis of how law and history on the one hand, jurisdiction, jurisprudence, and historiography on the other interact and how they impact on one another. The article compares and evaluates the benefits drawn from this research. It finds that historical analyses which take seriously the epistemological premises of the law as well as the courtroom's performativity manage to bypass well-trodden paths of interpretation which either deplore the limited, inadequate punishment meted out, or celebrate the triumphant march from Nuremberg to The Hague. The article concludes that such interdisciplinary readings help to avoid widespread disillusionment with the results of transitional trials.
