contents: On the right is the first question from the Heidelberg catechism "Welck is uwe eenighe troost in leven ende sterven", on the left in the preface is the date of the original edition: Heidelberg, 19 January 1563. At the behest of Frederik III, Elector Palatine and a convinced Calvinist, the Heidelberg catechism was drawn up by Zacharias Ursinus, professor of dogmatic theology at the university of Heidelberg. That same year, the preacher and psalm rhymer from the, Southern Netherlands. Petrus Dathenus, translated it into Dutch. The Heidelberg catechism was to have, in spite of fierce opposition, an enormous influence within Dutch Calvinism especially with respect to the theory of predestination.
