O polímata alemão 22.03.2025 6:51
Cape Town South Africa O termo “polímata” remonta a pelo menos 1603, quando foi usado pela primeira vez no título de uma obra publicada pelo alemão Johann van Wowern. Ele definiu a polimatia como "o conhecimento de diversos assuntos, extraído de todos os tipos de estudos... percorrendo livremente todos os campos das disciplinas, até onde a mente humana, com incansável esforço, for capaz de alcança...

Hij definieerde polymathie als "kennis van verschillende zaken, gehaald uit allerlei studies ... vrijelijk bewegend door alle disciplines, voor zover het menselijk verstand, met onvermoeibare ijver, deze kan nastrev...

Mudando as fronteiras 22.03.2025 8:02
Venice Italy Os europeus do século XVII, especialmente a elite capitalista, eram nitidamente cosmopolitas. Circulavam entre países, tinham interesses comerciais espalhados internacionalmente e exploravam as periferias imperiais em benefício de seu povo — mas, sobretudo, em benefício de si mesmos.
Grenzen verleggen 22.03.2025 8:20
Venice Italy De Europese elite in de 17e eeuw, met name de kapitalistische elite, waren herkenbaar kosmopoliet. Ze reisden eenvoudig van land tot land, hadden commerciële belangen in internationale handel en maakten gebruik van de imperiale periferie ten voordele van hun volk, maar vooral voor hun eigen gewin.
The department of government expansion 22.03.2025 7:56
Venice Italy 17th century Europeans, specifically the capitalist elite, were recognizably cosmopolitan. They moved between countries, had commercial fingers in international pies, and exploited the imperial periphery for the good of their people, but mostly for the good of themselves.
Morte de um príncipe 22.03.2025 6:48
Kranenburg Germany Estamos em frente ao túmulo de João Maurício de Nassau-Siegen, na vila de Hau, em Kleve, a poucos quilômetros da fronteira com os Países Baixos. A história dele não é exatamente uma narrativa de superação da pobreza para riqueza, mas certamente é uma trajetória que vai de uma origem relativamente obscura a um grandioso final cercado pela realeza europeia.
De dood komt voor ons allen 22.03.2025 7:21
Kranenburg Germany We staan hier voor het graf van Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen. We zijn in het dorp Hau, aan de rand van Kleef, en slechts een paar kilometer verwijderd van de grens met Nederland. Het levensverhaal van Johan Maurits van Nassau is er niet per se één van armoede naar rijkdom, maar wel degelijk één van een oorsprong in relatieve onbekendheid naar een groots slotakkoord, waarin hi...
Death of a prince 22.03.2025 6:57
Kranenburg Germany We’re standing in front of the tomb of John Maurice de Nassau-Siegen. We’re in the village of Hau, on the border of Kleve, and just a few kilometers away from the border with the Netherlands. John Maurice de Nassau’s life story is not quite one from rags to riches, but it’s certainly one from an origin of relative obscurity, to a grand finale of hobnobbing with Europe’s kings an...
Nassau apaixonado 12.03.2025 7:37
Kranenburg Germany Esta bela área arborizada aqui em Kleve abrigava o Prinzenhof, a Corte do Príncipe. Construído para João Maurício de Nassau-Siegen na segunda metade do século XVII, foi gravemente danificado durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, antes de ser demolido. No entanto, os jardins associados ao palácio ainda permanecem.
Maurits verliefd 12.03.2025 8:23
Kranenburg Germany Dit prachtige bosrijke gebied hier in Kleef was ooit waar we het Prinzenhof hadden kunnen vinden. Dit paleisje was gebouwd in opdracht van Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen in de tweede helft van de 17e eeuw, maar raakte zwaar beschadigd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en werd daarna afgebroken. De bijbehorende tuinen zijn echter wel bewaard gebleven.
Nassau in love 12.03.2025 8:12
Kranenburg Germany This lovely wooded area here in Kleve, was home to the Prinzenhof, the Prince’s Court. Built for John Maurice de Nassau Siegen in the second half of the 17th century, it was badly damaged during the Second World War, before being demolished, though the associated gardens remain.

Albany United States No ano seguinte os Estados Unidos declararem sua independência do Reino Unido em 2 de julho de 1776, Albany tornou-se a capital do estado de Nova York. O local já havia sido incorporado oficialmente como cidade em 1686, sendo a mais antiga do estado, após ser renomeada Albany quando os ingleses assumiram a colônia dos holandeses em 1664.
En hier hebben we de Pre-Adamieten 10.03.2025 7:25
Albany United States Nadat de Verenigde Staten zich op 2 juli 1776 onafhankelijk hadden verklaard van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, werd Albany het jaar daarop de hoofdstad van de staat New York.

The Hague The Netherlands O passado colonial holandês no Brasil, que se estendeu de 1630 a 1654, é amplamente documentado, mas sua importância é percebida de forma distinta nas historiografias holandesa e brasileira. O Arquivo Nacional Holandês, localizado em Haia, onde nos encontramos agora, abriga uma vasta quantidade de documentos relacionados à Companhia das Índias Ocidentais e aos empreendime...
Halve herinneringen 09.03.2025 6:21
The Hague The Netherlands Het Nederlandse koloniale verleden in Brazilië, van 1630 tot 1654, is uitgebreid gedocumenteerd, maar het belang en de relevantie van deze periode wordt behoorlijk anders bekeken in de Nederlandse en Braziliaanse geschiedschrijving. Het Nationaal Archief in Den Haag, waar we ons nu bevinden, bevat een schat aan documenten met betrekking tot de West-Indische Compagnie en d...
