Today Thomas, Nienke, Raggae (Thomas's temporary PA) and I went to see Esther Oosterwijk-Ritman and Cis van Heertum at the J.R. Ritman Library, a.k.a. Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica. I have known about this library for a long time, but I never had a chance to visit, so I was thrilled to finally see it.
Esther and Cis are great. They showed us some very precious books and letters, about and by Spinoza. Cis knows a lot about them. And Esther is very generous indeed. She may lend Thomas some of the works.
The extraordinary collection, the smell of the room, the beautiful handpainted manuscripts, made this a memorable visit.
