Introduction	Inventaris van de meubele huysraet ende inboel bevonden in de sterfhuys van Philip Lenaerts bierbeschooier. Postscript: Mainly unreadable in film. Even the date, 23 April 1618, is approximate. Signed by Lubbrich Elberts, Leendert Philips, Aert Lambertsz. Cock, and Maritgen Jacobsr.
Commentary	Philips Lenertsz. was a shoemaker at the time he married Heyltje Jans on 8 November 1586 (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam pp. 171, 173). He later became a beer distributor (bierbeschooier,bierbestecker). He was also a buyer at auction (for bio-details, see the NOTES to R 29712 of Montias2.) He was the half brother of Aert Lambertsz. Cock who signed the present inventory. Note that many items in the inventory belonged to Philips's sons Michaël (clothing), Arent (clothing), and Jan (books). Some goods belonged to Maria Jacobs, who seemed to be the principal heiress. It is not clear whether she was the widow of Philips Lenertsz. or a relative. Philips's sons, Michaël and Jan (or Johannes), who later called themselves van den Broeck, both married daughters of Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans de jonge (1587-1646), soap boiler op 't Water, and of Catharina de Gruyter (1591-1657). Michaël married Clara Rotgans, born in 1597, on 3 May 1622. At the time Philips Lenertsz. was still a shoemaker on the N.Z. Voorburgwal, at the corner of the Molsteeg. Dr. Michaël van den Broeck was counsellor and advocaat-fiscaal of the Admiralty in Rotterdam. Johannes van den Broeck married Machelina Rotgans, born in 1598, on 17 December 1624. He was Commies ter Financie in The Hague and was raised to the Knighthood of St. Michiel (Elias, op.cit. p. 171).
