Hoping for any insight or clarification regarding the text noting damage occurred to the home/property of Simon Mesch's widow as a result of the gunpowder explosion. Many thanks, Genevieve

Is this about the famous explosion in Delft on October 12, 1654?! I read here: De wed[uw]e van Simon Mevier (?) met een / groot huijs - 800,-

Dear Otto- many thanks, very appreciative. Yes, its a detail from the Delft Thunderclap compensation list. Fascinating document- with claims from a few guilder to several thousand...Again, thanks and best, G

Otto, I think it's Elssevier instead of Mevier.
