For most of his life, Constantijn Huygens Jr, secretary to stadholder King William of Orange, kept a diary in which he wrote about his private and professional life, the Dutch and English politics, the military campaigns he witnessed – including the Glorious Revolution – his interest in science and his brother, Christiaan, a brilliant mathematician and scientist. The diary also documents his role as a book collector and respected connoisseur of art. Huygens was a zealous chronicler of scandals and gossip, which is why historians have always steered clear of this unique egodocument of the Dutch Golden Age. Text in Dutch.
