Note 125 — Chapter XVI · IN HOLLAND
Reading edition
Perhaps the most lucid and impartial estimate of Spinoza’s place in the world of thought, accessible to the English reader, is to be found in Sir Frederick Pollock’s Spinoza: His Life and Philosophy. This work also contains in an appendix a reprint of the English translation (1706) of the Dutch biography of Spinoza by his friend the Lutheran minister Johannes Colerus, published in 1705. The latest biography of Spinoza, based on new materials, is J. Freudenthal’s Spinoza, sein Leben und seine Lehre, Erster Band, Das Leben Spinozas (Stuttgart, 1904).
