7 Comment on letter The letter is dated due to its subject manner and its relation to another letter from Robinson of the same date which said he could not procure the Robertelli edition. Robinson subsequently wrote this upon coming home and finding the Robertelli volume delivered to him; the volume in question is Francesco Robortello, De vita et victu populi Romani. (Bologna, 1559).

ePistolarium is een nieuw, digitaal instrument waarmee brieven onderzocht kunnen worden die geleerden in de 17e-eeuwse Republiek aan elkaar en aan collega’s in het buitenland schreven.

De software is voortgekomen uit een NWO-project van het Descartes Centre (Universiteit Urecht), Huygens ING en DANS (beide KNAW), de Koninklijke Bibliotheek en de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Op donderdag 13 juni a.s. zal ePistolarium in de Gertrudiskapel in Utrecht gepresenteerd worden, met twee lezingen en een korte demonstratie.
