The Low Countries was collectively one of the earliest and most heavily urbanised societies in European history. Present-day Belgium and the Netherlands still share important common features, such as comparatively low income inequalities, high levels of per capita income, a balanced political structure, and a strong 'civil society'. This book traces the origins of this specific social model in medieval patterns of urbanisation, while also searching for explanations for the historical reproduction of social inequalities. Access to cheap inland river navigation and to the sea generated a 'river delta' urbanisation that explains the persistence of a decentralised urban economic network, marked by intensive cooperation and competition and by the absence of real metropolises. Internally as well, powerful checks and balances prevented money and power from being concentrated. Ultimately, however, the utmost defining characteristic of the Low Countries' urban cultures was located in their resilient middle classes.

Tijdens het voorspel van de Nederlandse Opstand (1559-1567) vond een fatale breuk plaats tussen landsheer Filips II en zijn drie belangrijkste vazallen Oranje, Egmont en Horn. Toch waren er in deze periode vele contacten tussen de drie heren en hovelingen van Filips die erop gericht waren hechte banden te smeden tussen 'Brussel' en 'Madrid.' Deze studie gaat over deze contacten. Wie zocht eigenlijk contact met wie? Welke doelstellingen hadden beide groepen? Waarom waren deze contacten onvoldoende om een goede relatie tussen vorst en vazallen in stand te houden? Door de briefwisseling van Oranj

This is the first book to offer a translation into English-as well as a critical study-of a Spanish treatise written around 1650 by Rabbi Saul Levi Morteira, whose most renowned congregant was Baruch Spinoza. Aimed at encouraging the practice of halachic Judaism among the Amsterdam-based descendants of conversos, Spanish and Portuguese Sephardic Jews who had been forced to convert to Christianity, the book stages a dialogue between two conversos that ultimately leads to a vision of a Jewish homeland-an outcome that Morteira thought was only possible through his program for rejudaisation.
