Abstract

ALASTAIR HAMILTON Paulus de Kempenaer, 'non moindre Philosophe que tresbon Escrivain' * Paulus de Kempenaer was known to his contemporaries as a theologian and a calligrapher. He was appreciated as an emblematist and a poet, and occasionally employed as a herald-painter. We first encounter him in an official capacity as secretary to the Council of Brabant in 1582, during the brief rule of the Duke of Anjou in Antwerp, and we lose sight of him in 1618, a few weeks before the Arminian controversy, in which he displayed so marked an interest, reached its climax at the Synod of Dort. But all that would seem to remain of his work is a trans- lation, a number of loose emblems and drawings, some annotated books from what must have been a well-furnished library, and six somewhat puzzling manuscripts which combine the characteristics of the common- place book, the emblem book, the spiritual notebook and, more pro- saically, the diary.1 Each of these manuscripts covers a period of a year or so, but every volume contains later additions which appear to have been made more or less simultaneously.
