Document Details : Title: Wat licht in de duisternis Subtitle: De zestiende- en zeventiende-eeuwse bezitters van handschrift Kopenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Thott 70 fol. Author(s): ERMENS, Daniël Journal: Ons Geestelijk Erf Volume: 91 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2021 Pages: 248-260 DOI: 10.2143/OGE.91.1.3289296 Abstract : Manuscript Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Thott 70 fol. contains the Middle Dutch catechetical sermon cycle Een nuttelijc boec den kerstenen menschen (A useful book for Christians), a famous text in the fifteenth century. The Duysters family, which owned this manuscript in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, added genealogical information about their family on the last leaf of the manuscript. Thanks to these inscriptions, we can trace the bequeathal of the manuscript from father to son for over a century. Although we know that this was a family of ‘surgeons’ and soldiers, none of its members except the final owner of the manuscript have hitherto surfaced in the archives of Breda and Antwerp. |
