4. Lottes work in England
5. The development of Wytzes research
 Lotte and Wytze Hellinga

A. As a student at the University of Amsterdam after the second World War, Lotte found herself
stimulated first by the teaching of Herman de la Fontain Verwey and then by that of the forceful
personality of Wytze Hellinga, at that time Professor of Dutch Philology at the University. Wytze
Hellingas teaching was grounded in the idea of situating what he taught in its context. Obliged to teach
Gothic, for example, he tried to convey a sense of the language rooted in its own time and environment.

B. Study of the book was becoming increasingly important at the University of Amsterdam at this
period, as the work of de la Fontain Verwey and Gerrit Willem Ovink testifies. Wytze Hellingas
interests, formerly largely in a socio-linguistic direction, were now learning more towards texts and to
the book as the medium that carried written texts.

C. Much of the Wytzes teaching followed his own research interests, as he developed his ideas around
the sense that texts should properly be understood in the context of their method of production and
dissemination. He was at this time increasingly turning to codicology and to the classic Anglo- Saxon
model of bibliography in the realization that the plan to produce a proper critical edition of the works of
Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, the seventeenth-century poet, dramatist and historian, depended on the
application of the skills of analytical bibliography.

D. Encouraged by his work, Lotte produced an undergraduate thesis on the printers copy of the Oria of
Constantijn Huygens (the Hague, 1625). This work, incidentally, has never been published, although an
article was regularly announced as forthcoming in Quaerendo during the early 1970s.

E. On graduation in 1958, events took a turn that was to
postgraduate fellowship by the Nederlandse Organisatie voor
(or Z.W.O) to go to England to study the fifteenth- century
doyenne of Dutch bibliographers, arranged for her to be taught
Victor Scholderer at the British Museum.

F. As an honorary Assistant Keeper at the Museum, then, she came to England in 1959, assisting
among other things with the preparation of BMC volume IX (concerning the production of Holland and
Belgium) while studying the texts of the Gouda printer Gerard Leeu to see if the sources (and hopefully
printers copy) for his editions could be identified. Although the subject proved difficult to define
immediately so as to lead in a productive direction, most of this work was nonetheless to find its way
into print in such collaborative publications as the Hellingas Fifteenth century printing types, the
edition of the Bradshaw correspondence and the 1973 Brussels catalogue, to each of which we shall
return. But during her time at the Museum, Lottes attention was also attracted by such things as
English provenances on early-printed continental books, an interest which has stayed with her
throughout her career.
