| Summary: | The work of Dutch medievalist Regnerus Richardus Post (1894-1968) may be regarded as an attempt to find a historically appropriate place in the debate on the religious identity of Dutch society among Protestants, humanists, and Catholics. With his work, Post wanted to offer a description of Dutch medieval church history, while referring quite emphatically to the writings of his largely Protestant precursors and contemporaries: W. Moll, G. Delprat, P. Meswerdt, A. Hyma, H. Enno van Gelder, C. Augustijn, and others. He especially investigated the religious movement of the Modern Devotion - of Dutch origins - and on the basis of the facts he established, he renounced the views of many authors who constantly repeated each other on the importance of the Brothers of Common Life (Broeders van het Gemene Leven) for the development of Protestantism and humanism. For instance, he contested the view that Wessel Gansfort and Johan Pupper had belonged to the movement. He considered the importance of the brothers for the spiritual development of Desiderius Erasmus to be extremely limited. Post's views have in many ways been accepted in Dutch and international historiography, but there are still differences of interpretation about the relation of late medieval Catholicism, especially in the spiritual form of Modern Devotion, with humanism and Protestantism. |
