Vossius and Barlaeus (1632): how Amsterdam challenged Leiden‘s academic monopoly (Dutch spoken)

In the new Folia podcast De Illustere Universiteit, we delve into the history of the University of Amsterdam. In this first episode, two scholars from Leiden, Vossius and Barlaeus, are approached about a small school in Amsterdam, the Athenaeum Illustre. Leiden tried to block the foundation of the atheneum until the very last moment. The podcast is spoken in Dutch and can be listend via Spotify.
