Beste Hans,
Graag maak ik gebruik van je foto van de Akte waarmee Spinoza verbannen werd uit de Portugees-Joodse gemeente van Amsterdam, donderdag 27 juli 165, foto: Hansmuller. Dit voor een tocht over Spinoza in de provincie Zuid-Holland. Ik hoop dat je met de verwijzing eens bent. De route verschijnt in 2021 op Izi.Travel.
Met vriendelijke groet, Wimmie Hofstra, Buitenmuseum en Ooievaart, Den Haag
