Commentary	This inventory was part of the division of the estate left by Cornelis van Campen between his natural son Jacob Cornelisz. van Campen and his widow Catharina Queckels. In the division of the estate, the widow was left with three distinct V.O.C. obligations, each for 10,000 f. as well as a number of personal obligations. Cornelis van Campen was a very rich merchant. In 1631, five years before his death, he was taxed 1,125 f., corresponding to an estimated fortune of 2,250,000 f., the highest recorded in that year (Kohier, fol. 168vo, p. 39). He did business in La Rochelle, Russia, East and West Indies (Bok in Jacob van Campen, Het klassike ideaal in de Gouden Eeuw, p. 31). For details on his betrothal act and some of the relatives of Catharina Queckels and Cornelis van Campen, see the NOTES to R 31987 in Montias2.
Notary	Not. Jacob and Nicolaes Jacobsz.
