Commentary	The complex transactions recorded in this document can be interpreted as follows. The dealer Hans van Conincxloo III (of R 21404 of Montias2) owed Jan Hendricx Admirael (of INVNO 1036 and R 35467 of Montias2) 625 f. plus interest (perhaps for tulip bulbs in which Admirael dealt). Admirael, in the first part of the INTRO, acknowledged having received payment for this debt out of the hands of Hans van der Putte. The money had apparently been paid from the account of Van der Putte's ward Gillis de Sadelaer, the son of Abraham de Sadelaer I (of R 21507 of Montias2). Hans van Conincxloo had pledged various goods, including chiefly works of art for this debt. Once he had received the money from Hans van der Putte, Admirael turned over the goods pledged by Van Conincxloo, to Hans van der Putte. However, some goods, including mainly a bed and bedding had been returned to Sara de Vogelaer, the wife of Hans van Conincxloo, which she could keep in precario (until such time as Van Conincxloo, and perhaps later Hans van der Putte) might need them. From all this, it appears that Hans van Conincxloo was insolvent and was barely able to salvage a bed and bedding for his wife from his possessions. On Jan Hendricx Admirael, see the TEXT of R 927 of Montias1 and the NOTES to R 21507 of Montias2. Hans van der Putte, the cousin of Hans van Conincxloo III, was born in Anwerp. He was first noted in Amsterdam in 1609 and was still alive in 1642 (see the NOTES to R 21404 of Montias2.) In 1636, he acknowledged receiving certain porcelain ware from Van Conincxloo in compensation for a debt of 1,435 f. that the latter owed him. On 13 May 1639, Jan Hendricx Admirael declared that he had received two sentences (from the judges) against Jan (Hans) van Conincxloo who was obligated to pay him 740 f. plus an additional 340 f., which he Van Conincxloo, promised to do. Hendrick Uylenburgh, who appraised the works of art in the present transaction, undertook to supervise the carrying out of Van Conincxloo's obligation (NA 921, Not. B. Verbeeck.) The present transaction presumably arose out of that debt. Hans van der Putte was married to Sara de Sadelaer, the daughter of Anthony Pieter de Sadelaer. On 16 October 1636, Hans van de Putte, married to Sara de Sadelaer, filia Anthony Pieter de Sadelaer, filius Pieters, Abraham de Sadelaer , filius Abraham, in his father's place, settled the division of the estate of Abraham de Sadelaer I (?) (NA 597, fol. 567/8, Not. Lamberti).
