The “Nieuw Bijbels Dagboekje” (New Biblical Diary) is a well-known devotional book in Dutch Protestant circles, authored by Henriëtte Wilhelmina Spiering (1852-1921), who is known by her initials HWS. 

• Author: Henriëtte Wilhelmina Spiering was a prominent figure known for her evangelical work, including founding the Diaconessenhuis (Deaconess House) in Tiel, Netherlands. The content of the diary likely originated from the evangelization meetings she held for the homeless.
• Publication History: First published in 1902, the book became highly popular, with over 250,000 copies printed across many editions. The “vintage” nature implies an older print run, such as the 7th edition from 1931, or an even earlier one.
• Content: The daily readings are noted for their simple language and lasting spiritual value, which is why they remained in print for decades and were eventually fully revised into a modern version by G. W. Tamminga-Visser.
• Physical Description: Vintage copies typically have a hardcover, often with a linen cover.
