Commentary	Isaack Koimans (or Coymans) was born in Hamburg in 1581 and died in Amsterdam in 1640. He was still a bachelor in 1615 when he signed the Album Amicorum of the famous fencing master Gerard Thibault (see R 28346 of Montias2). On 3 April 1620, he was betrothed to Wijntge Reynst, the daughter of Gerard Reynst, rich merchant and Governor General of the East Indies (DTB 424/182). He became a broker (mackelaer) in 1633 and lived on the Herengracht. Samuel Blommert (or Bloemaert) was the brother-in-law of Isaack Koimans. He was betrothed to Catharina Reynst, the daughter of Governor Reynst, on 27 April 1612. Adam Bessels named in the INTRO was a buyer at auction (R 35042), as was Isaack Koimans himself (R 28346). Gerrit Reynst (1599-1658), also cited in the INTRO, was the son of Governor Reynst and Margareta Nicquet. Hans Koimans who also supervised the transaction and signed the inventory (Hans Coymans) may be identical with Hans Koijmans of INVNO 272.
