| Buyer | Hans Hermansz. ofte tot wiens versoeck |
| Buyer Family | Hermansz., Hans |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer may be the rich merchant Jan Hermansz., born in Hamont circa 1560, who was one of the co-founders of the second Amsterdam Company for the voyage to India in 1597 (see Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 303). He was one of the directors of the V.O.C. in which he invested 12000 f. He married Annetgen Pauwels. He died some time before 1631 when his widow was taxed 300 f. in the Kohier (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 116). Anneken Pauwels bought some lots in the sale of Burchgert Otten (INVNO 988). If she has been correctly identified, her husband Hans Hermansz. was the brother-in-law of Otto Burchers, the father of Burchgert Otten, who married Jutgen Hermans (see the TEXT of 887 of Montias1). Preceding LOT 0003, a number of valuable fraijichheden were sold, including ebony comptoirs, mirrors, etc.. |

| Buyer | Jan Braems |
| Buyer Family | Braems, Jan |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer was the individual, tentatively identified below, at whose request the sale was made. On 12 July 1608, when he registered his betrothal to Abigael van Harrinckhoeck, aged 22, Jan Braems was said to be from Dover, she, from Dantzig (DTB 413/227.) He was the heir of his father (?) Thyman Braems. He owed rent for 450 f. for a half year on the house De Keyser on 12 September 1634 (WK 5073/1193). On 11 July 1623, the masters of the Orphan Chamber appointed Hans Reynders, bookkeeper of the Wisselbank, as guardian over Tymen, the innocent (simple-minded) son of Jan Braems, wine dealer (WK 5073/513, fol. 12). Another son of Jan Braems and Abigael van Haringhoeck, named Daniel, was a jeweler in London. The first name Daniel suggests that Abigael van Haringhoeck was the daughter of Daniel van Haringhoeck of INVNO 648. Daniel Braems married Maria le Maire, the daughter of the preacher Johannes le Maire (of INVNO 1170, on 4 November 1612 (Nederlandsche Leeuw 87(1970), col. 268). On 20 January 1635, Goddert Braems, merchant in Copenhagen, for himself and for his brother Jan Braems, both benefiting from the octroi (monopoly) granted by His Royal Majesty of Denmark to catch whales in the Northern Cape on one side and the honorable Andries Claesz. van den Graeff, merchant, on the other signed a contract whereby Jan Braems would sell de Graeff 82 lasts of whalefish to be shot on the Northern Cape. Six boats (chaloupes) would be used. Jan and Godderd Braems would sell whalefish to no one else during the period of contract (NA 695A, film 4981, Omslag 66, Not. J. Warnaerts). The buyer may also be identical with Jan Braems who, in a contract dated 18 May 1643, associated himself with his brother(?) Thomas Braems and Louis Lucce of R 20393 in running a blue-wax bleaching works in Weesp from 1644 at least to 1648. Jan Braems was expected to direct the operation (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp. 373 and 510). Already on 17 November 1638, Thomas Braems was said to be the director (regierder) of a blue-wax bleaching mill owned by Herman Hertges, located on the Lauriersgracht (ibid. p. 211). In any case, our buyer should not be confused with Jan Bramse who died shortly before 1606 (INVNO 763). It is not clear whether Jan Braems who, with his wife Aeltgen Jans Corver, drew up his testament on 25 September 1638, is the same person (in which of course he would have remarried) (NA 1413, film 1381, Not. Frans Bruyning). |

| Buyer Notes | The buyer, the daughter of Volckert Sicx, asked a deposition to be made by the wife of a sworn makelaar on 12 January 1615 concerning the delivery of bolts of wool cloth by a wool finisher named Claes Hendricx to Alexander van den Berge of R 29985 (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 78(1933), p. 102). Volckert (or Volckardt) Sicx (or Siux) made a declaration in 1621 concerning a contract for the purchase of 5 houses (ibid. p. 385). |

| Buyer | Jan de la Court |
| Buyer Family | Court, Jan (Jean) de la |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer Jan de la Court (spelled precisely this way) was a witness to the inventory drawn up of the possessions still held by Catherine Roseau, the widow of the lace or embroidery maker(?) Bertran Rotcourt, after the auction sale of her husband's possessions (INVNO 196). The address of Catherine Roseau on the West side of the Keysersgracht suggests that Jan de la Court, who lived on the East side of the same gracht, was a neighbor. Of South Netherlandish origin, he was first noted in Amsterdam in 1618 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 319). On 12 July 1625, Wilhelm van Wely and Jean Cort (probably identical with the buyer of this lot), merchants in Amsterdam, on one side, and Cornelis Jansz. Belknap, on the other, declared that they had signed a contract for a lottery in which silver and paintings were to be raffled off. Wilhelm van Wely (of R 21266) would supply the silver (for 2/3 of the lots) and Cort the paintings (for1/3 of the lots) (NA 391, Not. Nic. Jacobsz.) It was at this address that De la Court paid a tax of 60 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 91, page 22). On 23 September 1633, two witnesses testified at the request of Jeronimus Heesters (cited in the NOTES to R 7706) concerning some obligations that Jean de la Court had bought from Heesters (NA 694B, film 4980, Not. J. Warnaerts). On 13 November 1635, Jaques Pietersen, diamond cutter, gave a procuration to Mr. Jan de Hertoge, merchant in Leiden, to collect 600 f. from the comptoir of the W.I.C. in the name of Jan de la Court, merchant in Amsterdam (NA 519, Film 6505, Not. Westfrisius). On Jan de Hertoge, silk dealer, see the NOTES to R 29263. On 9 January 1636, Jean de la Court, merchant, transferred an obligation passed before the city's aldermen to Mr. Adriaen Roest (of R 34934) with the yield of 36 f. 10 st. The obligation had been issued by Hans Phillips, schilder, on 28 November 1634 (NA 521, film 6505, Not. Westfrisius). The painter Hans Phillips may be identical with the frequent buyer Jan Philips of R 20717. On 26 July 1635, Jan Court, 37 years old, together with Paolo de Willem (the father of Paolo de Willem de jonge of INVNO 197), and Geraldo de la Croix (probably of R 25265), Jeremias van Ceulen, the brother-in-law of Jacques van Uffelen of R 7706, and Jan Cuysten I, the father-in-law of Hendrick Aertsz. Kemp of R 25263, all merchants, made a deposition at the request of Cornelis Gysbrechtsz. van Goor, likewise merchant (NA 695A, film 4981). Cornelis Gysbrechtsz. van Goor acted as Rembrandt's shipping agent in 1654 (Strauss, Rembrandt Documents, p. 315). On 24 January 1650, Jean de la Court, syde[cooper ?] and the eerbare Rachel de Cambre (illiterate!), living in the Heeregracht passed their testament (NA 1818, Not. Eggericx). |
