Reviews
De zuiver wetenschappelijke bundel bevat [...] een aantal diepgravende verkenningen van Junius’ werk en zijn wereld. [...] Van Miert heeft Junius weer op de kaart gezet.
Marcus de Schepper, De Zeventiende Eeuw 28 (2012) 1, pp. 110-111
All of the papers are of high quality. Some excel in methodology, [...] the lay out of the volume is impeccable [...]
Together these papers form a homogeneous book, which is also due to Van Miert’s introduction and particularly to his fine epilogue, which identifies and synthesizes the different fils rouges running through the other essays. Moreover, the volume contains good cross-references [...]
