Buyer FamilyGerritsz., Herman
Buyer NotesSeveral individuals named Herman Gerritsz. are known who lived in Amsterdam around this time. In any case, he cannot be the glassmaker of that name of R 22150 who was born no later than 1605. Perhaps the most likely possibility is the one who, on 19 October 1607, lent 374 f. to Crispiaen Colijn (of the present sale) and received a silver mirror in guarantee of repayment (Obreen, Archief, vol. 6, p. 39). He may, alternatively, be identical with the individual named Herman Gerritsz. who was regent of the Spinhuis in 1621 (Jan Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 2, p. 260.)
