1599- Tax in Delft

It concerns the tax paid for the transfer of real estate

Also, tailor Dirck Willemss has sold to
Neeltgen Ariensdochter, widow of Jasper Mes
a house situated at the Marktveld [currently: Markt] for 1800 guilders,
to be paid 500 guilders at once in cash and each year 120 guilders
which brings the tax to an amount of 9 guilders 4 stuivers and 8 penningen

Many thanks Rene. I really appreciate your time helping me.

That's really useful to understand how the archives knew Jasper Mes had passed away by 1599.

As there is a piece of silver/goldware that has Jasper Mes's mark on it dated 1595 I assume Jasper died some time between these dates.

There's also a document from the Orphans chamber concerning Jasper and Neeltgen but that's undated on Delft archives. Although written in pencil at the top I think it says 1593?

I'll post it shortly to see if anyone can decifer the text. It's very small writing on a huge piece of paper. Hopefully it doesn't all relate to Jasper and Neeltgen!

warmest best wishes.
