Spinoza Korte Verhandeling

Edition of ms. KB 75G15 with vocabulary, introduction and background articles. (SHORT TREATISE ON GOD, MAN, AND HIS WELL-BEING Previously written in Latin by B.D.S. for the use of his disciples, who were inclined to devote themselves to the study of Ethics and true Philosophy. And now translated into Dutch for the use of the Lovers of Truth and Virtue: so that they who spout so much about it, and put their dirt and filth into the hands of simpletons as though it were ambergris, may have their mouths stopped effectively, and cease to profane what they do not understand yet: i.e. God, themselves, and mutual assistance for each others well-being. And will be able to heal those whose mind has been injured, in a spirit of tenderness and tolerance, after the example of the Lord Christ, our best Teacher.)
