The “Livre Synodal” is a book in which the affairs that the synods in the Dutch
Republic dealt with. The particular one under consideration here collects the
affairs dealt by the Synods of the Huguenot (French-speaking Calvinist
communities) Churches, or by their more renowned name – Walloon
Churches. The author, based on the “Livre Synodal”, examines in this article
as a source for the study for early modern privacy. Based on two case studies,
that of De La Rouille in Middelburg and Huguenin in Leiden and Wesel, the
author assesses the perspectives of privacy existing in them, and analyses them
through the prism of the so-called heuristic zones of privacy.
