Descriptive bibliography on CD-ROM by Harm den Boer, University of Amsterdam
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, over nine hundred works were published in Spanish or Portuguese in the Northern Netherlands. This figure itself is impressive; however, its significance does not lie in the number of editions published, but in their nature: Many of the works printed in the Netherlands could not have been published in Spain or Portugal. The tolerant climate and economic opportunities enjoyed by Iberian exiles in the Low Countries, provided the conditions for a unique editorial activity that added a new, and sometimes defiant, dimension to the culture of the Iberian Golden Age.
