Joost Berman

Joost Berman (9 January 1793 – 18 March 1855)[1][2] was a Dutch lawyer, judge, politician, poet, nonfiction writer, and editor.

[10][9] Joost Berman wrote several works of poetry mobilizing public opinion against the Belgian Revolution, supporting a continued Dutch rule over Belgium.

While meticulously covering all of Zeeland, both editors lived in Zierikzee, putting the northern island of Schouwen slightly more central in the Almanac than customary in Zeeland-showcasing publications.

[17] Berman and the two candidates behind him were selected to fill in places of deceased council members for a "short" term of 6 years.

Joost Berman died in Zierikzee on 18 March 1855,[1][3] aged 62, after a disease his wife said lasted only 2 days.
