This collection of essays is dedicated to Prof. Yosef Kaplan upon his

retirement from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem as Bernhard Cherrick

Professor of the History of the Jewish People. Under the title Mapping

Jewish Amsterdam: The Early Modern Perspective prominent

international colleagues and friends deal with a number of Kaplan's most

important research topics in the field of Dutch Jewish history, such as

the critical study of primary sources, the contacts between Jews and the

surrounding non-Jewish world, the Sephardic diaspora, the coexistence of

Ashkenazim and Sephardim, the life and work of Sephardic luminaries and

Jewish material culture. These studies celebrate Yosef Kaplan's

outstanding contribution to the study of Jewish history in general, and

of the history of the Jews in the Netherlands in particular.
