Introduction	On 3 April 1637, Albert Lievensz. Bicker, wine dealer, appeared before Notary Lamberti and acknowledged a debt of 2,400 f. that he owed to the wine dealer Jeuriaen Huybertsz. for various merchandise (probably wine). To secure the loan, he transferred to Jeuriaen Huybertsz. various goods: een groote copere orlogie, beneffens de aencleven van dien, een groote copere croon, een nieuwe kerij bevonden in de camer, een trecktafel, 6 stoelen, 6 beds and bedding, 38 pieces of porcelain, jewels, etc.., in addition to the paintings listed in Montias2.
Commentary	On a deposition of the wine dealers Outgert Pietersz. Spiegel and Jeuriaen Huybertsz., see the NOTES to R 27584 of Montias2. On 2 March 1640, Jeuriaen Huybertsz. van Eyl transferred his wine business, together with its clientele, to a company formed by his three daughters and one son and Joachim van Leyen. The son was probably Huybert van Eyl cited below. Jeuriaen Huybertsz. committed himself to supply 66,000 f. for his children's share and Joachim van Leyen 6,000 f. The children would pay their father for the use of this capital sum interest of four percent a year (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp. 259-261). On 27 October 1640, Dirck Staets and Michiel Barlebosch, as guardians of the orphan Lijsbet Jans, Maerten Pietersz. Vogel, as having married Trijntge Hendricks, Mr. Hillebrand, surgeon, and Herman Hendricks, together with Trijntgen Hendricks, for themselves, Jan Jansz. de Lange, as husband and guardian of Hillegond Hendricks and Hillegond Pieters, respectively testamentary heirs of the late Jan Thonis (Theunisz.) and Swaentge Hillebrands, that they had sold to Juriaen Huybertsz., wine dealer in Amsterdam, a certain house and court, named de Meniste bruijloft, adjoining on the East side Dionys Pietersz., baker, and Jan Evertsz. Cloppenburch (of R 29002 of Montias1), and on the West side Trijntge van Neck, pancake cook, where the Elephant hangs, and, behind, by Dirck Pietersz. Wittepars. Juriaen Huybertsz. probably did not keep the inn long. It was sold by Nicolaes Gijselaer (broker, and, apparently painter) to Joachim Arras for f. 21,900 on 4 July 1658 (H.F. Wijnman, Jan Teunisz alias Joannes Antonides (1569-1637) ... in Jaarboek Amstelodamum 25(1928), pp. 37-8). On Jan Theunisz., who kept an inn where music was made and printed Arabic and Hebrew texts, see also R 20033 of Montias2. On 17 May 1647, a skipper from Workum declared at the request of Huybert van Eyl, merchant in Amsterdam, that he had loaded 20 oxen in Rypen, Denmark, on the order of a merchant in Workum, with the assignment to sail to Amsterdam and to deliver the animals to Juriaen Huybertsz., which the skipper had done. He asserted that he had brought to Amsterdam no other folk than two ox-drivers who had come with him from Rypen (Van Dillen, op.cit. p. 487).
