Scholten 2024b
Jheronimus Bosch en ‘BoschDoc’
(Loes Scholten) 2024
[Dissertation, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, defended on October 3, 2024, 375 pages]
This is Loes Scholten’s (very nicely and professionally presented) dissertation which was defended at the Radboud University Nijmegen on October 3, 2024. Its promotor was A.M. (Jos) Koldeweij. Jheronimus Bosch en de Lieve-Vrouwe-broederschapskapel (also 2024) is the commercial edition of this dissertation (see Scholten 2024a). The commercial edition is largely the same as the original dissertation. There are only two major differences. The dissertation has at the beginning an introductory text on the digital database ‘BoschDoc’, which brings together (basically) all old written sources, in particular archival sources, that have a close or distant connection with Bosch. Later in the book appendix X (pp. 259-343) transcribes passages from the proostrekeningen (chaplain’s accounts) of the Brotherhood of Our Lady. The commercial edition refers to these passages (p. 245) but does not reproduce them. From 2025 on, they can be consulted online (https://boschdoc.huygens.knaw.nl). Scholten’s dissertation (with appendix X) can also be consulted online (https://repository.ubn.ru.nl).
