| Commentary | On Syvert Pietersz. Sem, see the NOTES to R 27934 of Montias2 and Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, pp. 413-4. The religion of his widow (which may or may not have been his) is inferred from the altar in the inventory and from the altarpieces with Catholic content. The fact that her husband's brother Jan Pietersz. Sem was the guardian of Marritge Hermans, the sister of the engraver Jan Hermansz. Muller (cf. the NOTES to R 32237 of Montias2), who was most probably R.C., adds to the presumption that at least part of the family was R.C. Mary or Maritge Bouwers was the daughter of Arent Bouwer (1520-1585) and of Neel Hillebrants. On 27 March 1619, the sister of Maritge, named Helena Bouwers (see R 27876 of Montias2), sold to him a house situated on the Warmoesstraat (no. 88) (J.G. Kam, Waar was dat huis in de Warmoesstraat?, 1968, p. 32/1). Maritge was also the sister of Hans Bouwer I (of INVNO 537), and, probably, of Lysbeth Bouwers(of INVNO 694). She was the aunt of Melchior Bouwer of R 27856 of Montias2. | |
