Jan van Walré (1759, Haarlem – 1837, Haarlem), was a 19th-century bookseller, poet and playwright from the Northern Netherlands. ==Biography== He was a Remonstrant married to a Mennonite and a bookseller who became a member of Teylers Eerste Genootschap from 1781-1782. He received a large inheritance in 1782, leading him to cease his business activities and pursue his hobbies.〔De verborgen wereld van Democriet: Een kolderiek en dichtlievend genootschap te Haarlem 1789-1869, by Bert Sliggers, 1995, Schuyt & Co., ISBN 9789060973851 〕 In the same year, he joined a literature society started by Adriaan Loosjes, ''Vlijt moeder der Wetenschappen'' and became an actor.〔 In 1785 the society was reinvented as the theater society ''Leerzaam vermaak'' with a strong Patriotic bias with Loosjes and Walré the leaders.〔 In 1787 Walré joined the Haarlem ''vrijkorps'' (armed citizen's guard) named ''Pro aris et focis'' as a captain and served in 1787 in Nieuwersluis. When this action failed and Haarlem returned to the orangists, ''Leerzaam vermaak'' was forbidden, but the group became active again in 1788.〔 Loosjes began to avoid politics and in 1789 he started the Haarlem scientific society Maatschappij tot Nut van 't Algemeen. To continue his comedy pursuits, he began the society Democriet in the same year with the remark ''Because Heraclitus had to cry, Democritus had to laugh''. In 1790, Walré joined, who again added political color, despite Loosjes' intentions to remain neutral.〔 In 1795 when the French occupation began, the activities of Democriet reached their peak, and after that moment the society began to show similarities with freemasonry.〔 According to the RKD he was the grandmaster of the Haarlem satirical literary society Democriet and an amateur draughtsman.〔(Jan van Walré ) in the RKD〕〔(Portrait as a grandmaster of Democriet ) in the RKD by Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter in 1807〕 File:Wybrand Hendriks - Jan van Walré as Henry IV - FHM01 OS-I-150 W.JPG|Jan van Walré as Henry IV File:Wybrand Hendriks - Maria Kops with daughter.jpg|His wife Maria Kops with their daughter Catharina Hillegonda, who later married Johannes Enschedé III. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jan van Walré」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
