By the first decade of the seventeenth century it was clear that the two principal states of the Low Countries, the northern Dutch Republic and the southern Spanish Netherlands, were irrevocably separated. During the seventeenth century the two states developed along divergent political, economic and religious paths. Towards the end of the Twelve Years’ Truce (1609-1621) both states saw the concurrent appearance of a Dutch periodical press, pioneered in Amsterdam and in Antwerp.
