IntroductionInventaris van .... achtergelaten bij Goris de Weert in sijn leven coopman in Amsterdam ... Nicolaes Oom ende Laurens Cornelisz.
CommentaryDue to fire damage, the introductory text is only partially readable and the names therein are uncertain. The religion of the owner is inferred from the portraits of the Emperor Rudolph and of Pater Jan Ey (i.e. Jan Ney) in the collection. On the other hand, the portrait of the famous Anabaptist preacher Lubbert Gerritsz. in the inventory may point to a Mennonite connection (the family may have been of mixed religion: note that Goris de Waert's grandfather. Jan van Baerle, was definitely Reformed.) Goris de Waert, born in Breda in 1590, was the son of Adriaen de Waert and Elisabeth Jans van Baerle, the daughter of Jan van Baerle I of R 20427 of Montias2. She died in 1619. On 19 June 1612, he was said to be coopmans dienaer for the merchant Johan Michielsz. (GAA, NA Gysbserts, film 52). He married Elisabeth de Wouwer (daughter of Jan de Wouwer of R 23231 of Montias2) on 7 February 1616. Elisabeth died in 1619. He then remarried with Tietge Corver, daughter of Jan Jansz. Corver and the sister of Claes Corver of R 8317, on 17 November 1624. When she died in 1638, she left a fortune of 200,000 f. (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 617). Goris de Weert, who is most probably identical with the owner of the goods in this inventory, was said to be a merchant in Amsterdam when he freighted a ship Aelborch in the Belt on 16 July 1620 (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van het Oostzeehandel R.G.P., 186(1984), p. 366.) Goris de Waert signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. The information on Goris de Weert (or Waert) is taken from Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, vol.2, p.617
