Commentary	On 19 October 1635, Jasper Vinckel (II), merchant, insinuated Juriaen Huybrechtsz., likewise merchant, concerning two ships (NA 597, fol. 127, Not. Lamberti). On November 4, 1641, Mr. Johannes (Miense) Molenaer, several of whose paintings are listed in the inventory, notified Emanuel Burck, innkeeper, living in de Meniste Bruyloft, summoning him, in view of the fact that the raffle he (Van Eyl) had planned, did not go through, to pay him 546 gulden that he owed him (Molenaer). Burck should also pick up the three paintings that had been at his disposal since the first (of November). Burck responded to the notary (van Ven) that the raffle would take place but that he was entitled to damage(s) since the paintings were not delivered on time. On 18 December, Molenaer acknowledged having received 546 gulden from Jean Moriaen, merchant, that Burck owed him. (Moriaen had guaranteed the loan) (A. Bredius, Het verblijf van Jan Miense Molenaer te Amsterdam in Obreen's Archief voor Nederlandsche kunstgeschiedenis 7(1890-1892), pp. 290-1). The Meniste Bruyloft was an inn where auctions of tulips also took place. On 2 March 1640, Jeuriaen Huybertsz. van Eijl, merchant, on one side, Margareta, Catharina, and Geertruyt Jeuriaens van Eijl, children of Jeuriaen Huyberts, procreated by Judith Adriaens Roos, his earlier wife, assisted by Outgert Pietersz. Spiegel (of R 27584 of Montias2), and Jochum van Leijen, on the second side, and Jochum van Leijen, for himself, on the third side, contracted to take over the wine business of Jeuriaen Huybertsz., the capital of which amounted to 2,200 f. (NA 421, film 6438, fol. 173). Judith Adriaens Roos, the daughter of the wine dealer Adriaen Cornelisz. Roos, was the sister of Cornelis Adriaensz. Roos of R 31021. The paintings in the present inventory were sold to Jeuriaen van Eijl, on the same day as the above deposition, 2 March 1640, probably from the proceedings of the sale of the winery not only to Jochum van Leijen but, apparently, to Daniel and Guilhelmo Labistrate. The latter were the sons of Daniel de la Bistrate I, whose testament is mentioned below. On 31 October 1643, Emanuel Byrk (Burk), Luder Ottersen and Theobald Hoogsteden, owning three fifths in a privilege (octroy) for water mills, guaranteed a loan of 2,250 f. in favor of Daniel and Guillelmo de Labistrate (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.P.G., 144(1974), p. 388). In the same year Daniel de Labiestraeten (II) joined a number of merchants calling for the stabilization of the currency (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken, R.P.G., 59(1925), p. 84). On 23 October 1638, Daniel de la Bistrate I, merchant, lying in bed, passed his testament. In it, he mentions his late wife Margarita Schuijl (cited in the NOTES to R 20339 of Montias2). His two sons Daniel de la Bistrate II and Guilliam de la Bistrate were to continue to run his business (NA 696A, film 4982). For other acts concerning Burck, Jeuriaen Van Eijl, and the Labistrate brothers, see Van Dillen, loc. cit. pp. 324, 337, 458 and 479. Huybert van Eijl was probably the son of Jeuriaen Huybertsz. van Eijl. He was also a wine dealer (wholesaler). In a deposition of 4 November 1645, he was said to be 23 years old (Van Dillen, Bronnen, 144(1974), p. 452).
