Anna Maria van Schurman was widely regarded as the most erudite woman in seventeenth-century Europe. As the Star of Utrecht, she was active in a network of learning that included the most renowned scholars of her time. Known for her extensive learning and her defense of the education of women, she was the first woman to sit in on lectures at a university in the Netherlands and to advocate that women be admitted into universities. She was proficient in fourteen languages, including Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Aramaic, Persian, Samaritan, and Ethiopian, as well as several vernacular European languages. This volume presents in translation a remarkable collection of her letters and poemsmany of which were previously unpublishedthat span almost four decades of her life, from 1631 to 1669.
