Hugo Grotius’s Remonstrantie of 1615
Facsimile, Transliteration, Modern Translations and Analysis
David Kromhout and Adri Offenberg
May 2019
Hardback ISBN 9789004396074 - € 102 / US$ 122
E-Book E-ISBN 9789004397446 - € 102 / US$ 122
Grotius wrote the Remonstrantie around 1615 at the request of the States of Holland, to define the conditions under which Jews were to be admitted to the Dutch Republic. The Remonstrantie shows how Grotius’s views evolved within the confines of the philosophical and religious concepts of his time. It is an example of tolerance within political limits, analyzed by the author David Kromhout and made accessible through a modern translation.
