About This Book

Een beknopte levensbeschrijving van Hugo de Groot schetst zijn afstamming, publieke optreden, intellectuele prestaties en politieke verwikkelingen op basis van historiografische en dichterlijke bronnen. De tekst combineert feitelijke aantekeningen met onpartijdige opmerkingen, behandelt zijn processen en gevangenschap, beschrijft zijn ontsnapping in een koffer met twee nauwkeurige afbeeldingen daarvan, en brengt portretten en verzen ter illustratie van zijn faam. Kortere biografische notities, genealogische gegevens en verwijzingen naar zijn werken en de reacties van tijdgenoten vullen het overzicht aan zonder uitgebreide oordelen.
