0.15 sec. |
Cats, Jacob(us)known as Father Cats(born Nov. 10, 1577, Brouwershaven, Zeeland, Spanish Netherlands—died Sept. 12, 1660, Zorgvliet, near The Hague) Dutch poet. A magistrate and high official, he was enormously popular as a writer of emblem books, consisting of woodcuts or engravings with verses possessing a moral. His Mirror of Old and New Times (1632) contains many quotations that have become household sayings in the Netherlands, and he used it to express the ethical concerns of Dutch Calvinists, especially about love and marriage.
