A Miracle of St Martin – Utrecht a Happy City

A multi-authored book edited by Els Rose and published by Amsterdam University Press

On July 4th 2022, the book A Miracle of St Martin – Utrecht a Happy City [Het wonder van Sint-Maarten – Utrecht een gelukkige stad] was presented to the King’s Commissioner in the Province of Utrecht and to the municipality of Utrecht. The book was written as a present to the city of Utrecht, celebrating its 900th anniversary as a free city in the year 2022. The festive presentation completed the two-day public festival A Miracle of St Martin – the Happy City that took place in Utrecht University Hall and the Dom Cathedral on 3 and 4 July. The book (in Dutch) is available open access through the publisher’s website. For an impression of the festive programme of 3 and 4 July 2022 and all other output, including the exhibition that was housed by the Dom Cathedral in the summer of 2022, please visit the website www.hetwondervansintmaarten.nl (Dutch only). Initiator and project-leader Els Rose looks back on the festival in an interview with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research NWO, which provided the grant that made this all possible.
