You see, unlike much of Kuyper's writings, this book has yet to be digitized for universal access. In addition, this is a rare book, having been published in 1896, and is held in only two libraries worldwide - at Princeton Seminary, and at the Theological University Kampen. Now that I have an office in the TUK library, I was easily able to pull the book for further investigation.
I now get to experience the unique historian's task of working through (and translating) an old, fragile book to see what potential discoveries await. The scene becomes even more picturesque when I take in the fullness of my surroundings - my office sits on the second floor of the TUK library, overlooking the weathered yellow-brick courtyard and additional wing of the library. The library itself is in an abbey from the 17th century, and the wide wood-plank floors squeak and groan under foot. Add to that the sounds of the New Tower bells (from 1648) chiming and echoing across this medieval city, and I feel primed to dig in and conduct some good old fashioned historical research.
