The Ghendtsche Post-Tydinghen (lit.'Ghentish Post Newspaper') was initially a weekly (and later a twice-weekly) newspaper published in Ghent from 1667 to 1722.

Publication history

[edit]

The newspaper was founded by Maximiliaan Graet, printer to the city of Ghent, in 1667, and remained a family business, run by his widow and their descendants, until it folded in 1722.
