Jacob Cornelis van Slee

Life

Slee was born at Hillegom on 23 September 1841, the son of Cornelis van Slee and Anna Barbera Geertruida Romeny. He studied Theology at the Athenaeum Illustre of Amsterdam and at Leiden University. In 1868 he married Elisabeth Kenno and was appointed minister at Herwijnen. Appointments followed at Oostzaan in 1873, at Drumpt in 1877, and at Brielle in 1881.[1] In 1891 he became preacher in Deventer, and in 1892 librarian of the city's Athenaeum Illustre (a sort of liberal arts college). The library had been founded by the city in 1597, on the basis of a medieval collection, and Slee marked the third centenary by publishing a catalogue of the library's holdings.

Slee retired as a preacher in 1914, and in 1914 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Groningen. In 1917 he organised a major exhibition on Luther in the library at Deventer, to mark the fourth centenary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. His wife died in 1920. He himself retired as librarian in 1928, and died on 21 November 1929. He was buried in Diepenveen, where he had lived since retiring as a preacher in 1913.[2]

gollark: Books:- mostly used to refer to objects of bound paper with covers (covers can be various materials, often card/harder paper)- paper inside the book ("pages") typically contains information about a topic encoded as patterns of ink on them- topics can include someone's notes on a subject, or something intended for wider distribution/other people such as a story/set of stories ("fiction") which did not really occur, or true information ("non-fiction")- cover generally contains art related to the contents, as well as what the book is named ("title") and who wrote it ("author")- the back will often contain a "blurb" describing the contents somewhat, as well as potentially reviews by others
gollark: The inevitability of book is inevitably inevitable.
gollark: I think I've *told* Tux1 about them a few times, so it's their fault.
gollark: I agree completely. The inevitability of apioforms is inevitably inevitable.
gollark: Apioforms have been explained MORE THAN -7 TIMES, if you don't know now it's your own fault.
