Reformation historian, immigrant, dochter van Nederlanders, birder (not necessarily in that order). Working on a book on the year 1572 in (mostly) Europe. Opinions all mine, and I speak only for myself.

Happy to be in bluer skies. I'm working on a book titled "1572: A Year in the End of Christendom," about the working out of reformation in Europe in the later 16th cen. Any tidbits about 1572 that you come across in your research that you're willing to share are welcome.

He's been president of Bard since 1975. His departure is long overdue.

The Canadian Letters & Images Project is an online digital archive of Canadians’ experience during wartime at home & in battle. It contains thousands of personal letters & photos that reveal people’s experience through their own words & eyes.

The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated. The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words. These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations. The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation. We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project.

Coornhert en predikant Herman Herbers kregen in de zestiende eeuw etiketten als ‘libertijn’ en ‘vrijgeest’. Dit artikel zet hun geloofsopvattingen en reputatie in context.

Does anyone know of a contemporary depiction of the 1529 Diet of Speyer? I can only find 19th-century ones.

I'm sorry to hear this. Nissen wrote an important book about Catholic reactions to the Doopgezinden in the 16th and early 17th centuries.

Kerkhistoricus Peter Nissen gestorven...Ik heb hem nooit persoonlijk gekend en kon zijn verlangen en heimwee naar de RK-Kerk, die in interviews klonk, als niet-katholiek moeilijk volgen. Maar in deze necrologie treft het beeld van een mild en wijs mens: www.trouw.nl/religie-filo...
Met het overlijden van Peter Nissen (68) verliest Nederland een kerkelijk duider en bruggenbouwer
Na een tweede herseninfarct werd Peter Nissen (68) niet meer wakker. De geliefde kerkhistoricus overleed zaterdag.

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!
Screenshot from Tumblr User hatingongodot: “In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“ LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy User Shitacademicswrite: i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation! Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.
