Abstract
Is there a special phenomenon which can usefully be labelled ‘Dutch millenarianism’? Or should we rather speak about ‘millenarianism in the Dutch Republic’? Is there a ‘corpus’ of Dutch millenarian literature? Or did Dutch millenarians rely on international chiliastic publications? In order to answer such questions concerning the national and international contexts of millenarianisms it might be best to look at the problem from a comparative perspective. We know that millenarianism was a widespread phenomenenon in early modern Europe and North America. A comparative approach might help us to solve questions about specific national elements in an international movement.
