Kennisgeschiedenis is in de BMGN nu beter vertegenwoordigd dan dertig jaar geleden. Dat betekent niet dat de toenadering tussen kennisgeschiedenis en algemene geschiedenis in dit tijdschrift al volledig is geslaagd, en evenmin dat alle beschikbare kansen zijn benut. Kennisgeschiedenis is in de BMGN geen mainstream geworden, zo wordt in deze bijdrage betoogd, en de toenadering komt tot nu toe vooral van één kant. De mogelijkheden voor kennishistorisch onderzoek over nationale grenzen heen worden bovendien maar mondjesmaat verkend. De meeste artikelen blijven immers tot één helft van de Lage Landen beperkt. Aan de hand van verschillende voorbeelden wordt geïllustreerd welke interessante connecties en belangwekkende vergelijkingen tussen Noord en Zuid zouden kunnen worden onderzocht. De BMGN zou dus voor de kennisgeschiedenis meer kunnen betekenen dan zij in de afgelopen halve eeuw heeft gedaan.
History of knowledge is better represented at the BMGN nowadays than it was thirty years ago. This does not mean that a complete rapprochement between history of knowledge and general history has been accomplished in this journal, nor have all available opportunities been explored. History of knowledge has not become a mainstream school of thought in the BMGN, as is argued in this contribution, and to date the effort at rapprochement has been largely one-sided. Moreover, opportunities for research on history of knowledge beyond national borders are explored in very limited measure. After all, most articles continue to address only one half of the Low Countries. Various examples are presented here to illustrate which interesting connections and impressive comparisons could be examined between North and South. The BMGN could thus have done more to promote history of knowledge than it has in the past half century.
