AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This manuscript from 1631 (vellum) measures about 28 x 42 centimeters and is equipped with a lacquer/wax seal and, in the top left, a small seal (Cleinsegel). The manuscript is in neat, collectible condition, with the usual signs of aging (the photos are part of the description).

In this manuscript, the origin of the estate Sparenhout is described (Spaarenhout, Spaarn-hout, Spaer en Hout, Spaer-en-Hout, Spaeren-Hout, Sparen Hout), located in Haarlem (Kleine Houtweg near Spijkermanslaan).

History:
In 1631, Johan Cornelisz. Geelvinck, former mayor of Amsterdam, transferred to the Amsterdam merchant Zacharias Hooftman a small garden named 'de Hennipthuyn' and a plot of garden land on the Spaarne. Around 1641 a country estate was laid out with a house that was not directly on the Spaarne. By around 1700 the house had apparently been demolished and replaced by a simple building with a dome-shaped extension directly on the Spaarne. The Amsterdam merchant Philips de Flines was probably the one who had the mansion by the Spaarne built.

This manuscript concerns the purchase of the mentioned garden in 1631; on the one hand: Jan Cornelisz. Geelvinck (June 11, 1579 – November 9, 1651, buried on November 13) was a merchant active in Spain and South America, an administrator of the Company at Guinea and, as a shipowner, closely involved in outfitting WIC vessels. He was a regent of the Binnengasthuis. In 1626 he became Mayor of Amsterdam.
and on the other hand: Zacharias Hooftman, son of a Flemish immigrant who had settled in Haarlem. Zacharias was a merchant in Amsterdam, where he had a townhouse on the Herengracht and, in addition, another house on Koningstraat in Haarlem.

In the heading, the aldermen of the Lordship of Heemstede are named: Cornelis Reyers and Cornelis Dircxse. Line eight states that the measurement was carried out by the surveyor Hendrik Simons Duinman, on 30 July 1631.

The manuscript is sent by registered and insured mail.
